Celtic goalkeeper Schmeichel out for up to six weeks

Kasper Schmeichel will miss out on the subsequent 5 to 6 months recovering from an personal injury picked up on international duty, ruling him out of around seven Celtic fixtures, manager Brendan Rodgers has confirmed.

The 38-year-old, who has 46 club appearances this term, picked up the knock in the course of Denmark's Nations League quarter-ultimate 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.

Requested with regard to the possible 5-to-6-week absence, Rodgers told Celtic TV: "This is just a thing that, working day by day, we'll take a look at, although the timeline which was provided to us was perhaps about about that.
