Celtic face anxious wait as injured Kasper Schmeichel counts cost of playoff agony

By ANTHONY BROWN

Celtic are facing an anxious wait to learn the extent of a shoulder injury sustained by goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel on international duty.

The 38-year-old was hurt in extra time of Denmark’s Nations League quarter-final defeat by Portugal on Sunday night, but played on in clear discomfort as his side had used all their substitutes.

Reports in Denmark have suggested Schmeichel was wearing a sling as the team prepared to fly out of Lisbon Airport.

Danish head coach Brian Riemer admitted Schmeichel would have been taken off if they had the option of sending on a replacement.

‘If it had been possible, I would have replaced Kasper Schmeichel when he was injured, but we had already used all our substitutes,’ he said.
