On Sunday, Celtic goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel picked up a shoulder injury in Denmark’s UEFA Nations League defeat to Portugal.
Earlier today, we covered claims from the Danish press which stated the 38-year-old was in pain and received treatment at a hospital in Lisbon. Denmark manager Brian Riemer also confirmed the Celtic man’s setback, without providing any further details.
Tipsbladet now state that Schmeichel was in pain, but he seems to have ‘escaped’ a major issue.
They state the former Leicester City man underwent tests and an X-ray has shown there’s ‘nothing worrying’ with his shoulder. This is revealed by the national team doctor, Morten Boesen, to Ritzau, relayed by Tipsbladet.
“Kasper Schmeichel’s left shoulder was X-rayed last night, and fortunately the images show nothing abnormal. He obviously has pain after a fall on his shoulder, so we’ll examine him further with an MRI scan,” he said.
This update should certainly provide some relief to Brendan Rodgers and Celtic. There will be more updates on the stopper’s situation after he undergoes an MRI scan. He’s likely to carry out these tests after the national team returns to Denmark on Monday.
Schmeichel arrived at Celtic Park as a free agent last summer and has been the No.1 for Brendan Rodgers. He kept 24 clean sheets and conceded 44 goals from 46 games this season.
