Celtic goalkeeper Schmeichel out for up to six months

Kasper Schmeichel will miss the next five to six weeks recovering from an damage picked up on Global responsibility, ruling him outside of up to seven Celtic fixtures, manager Brendan Rodgers has verified.

The 38-year-old, who has 46 club appearances this term, picked up the knock during Denmark's Nations League quarter-last second-leg defeat in Portugal final month.

The Danish captain, who has eighty one caps, performed on during the five-two reduction that meant the Portuguese progressed 5-three on combination.

Questioned about the likely 5-to-6-week absence, Rodgers advised Celtic Television: "This really is just something that, working day by working day, we will have a look at, however the timeline which was supplied to us was probably all around about that.
