Kasper Schmeichel has revealed a major shoulder injury could end his career."It would be probably one of the greatest feats of my career if I could get back from an injury like this.
Celtic goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel (Iris van den Broek) Kasper Schmeichel has revealed a major shoulder injury could end his career. The Celtic goalkeeper has been playing through the pain since hurting his left shoulder while appearing for Denmark last year and aggravated the injury against Stuttgart last month. He has missed the last five matches for Scottish champions Celtic and received a "devastating" diagnosis from a specialist on Monday.
Schmeichel, speaking to CBS Sports Golazo Network, said: "I'm going to need two surgeries now to fix my shoulder. "It's a bit of a body blow. I've torn the bicep, torn the rotator cuff, dislocated the shoulder, torn the labrum –- everything's kind of gone.
It's looking like 10-12 months of rehab. " The 39-year-old added: "You don't really know how to react to this. I could have potentially played my last ever football game.
I've been a footballer since the day I was born. That kind of thought is devastating. It's very, very hard to wrap my head around at the moment.
