Schmeichel Fears Career Is over as Double Surgery Looms
Schmeichel faces two surgeries and up to 12 months rehab for a severe shoulder injury that may end his career, the 39-year-old said on CBS Sports Golazo.
- Specialist on Monday delivered a 'devastating' diagnosis that could end the career of 39-year-old Celtic goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel, requiring two surgeries and 10–12 months of rehab.
- He first injured his left shoulder playing for Denmark last year against Portugal in the Nations League quarter-final and aggravated it three or four weeks ago against Stuttgart, managing pain with injections and limited rehab.
- The injury includes a dislocated shoulder, torn bicep, torn rotator cuff and torn labrum, and Schmeichel said 'I was told yesterday' describing the damage as 'everything is gone'.
- Surgery is scheduled for Friday and the club must weigh options as he is out of contract in the summer while Viljami Sinisalo, Celtic back-up goalkeeper, has performed well in his absence.
- Having joined Celtic in 2024, Kasper Schmeichel has made 88 appearances and won the Scottish Premiership and League Cup, while his father Peter Schmeichel, former Manchester United goalkeeper, has commented on his injury struggles.
