Celtic goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel has revealed his football career could be over after suffering a devastating shoulder injury that requires two surgeries. The 39-year-old veteran, who has been playing through pain since injuring his left shoulder with Denmark last year, aggravated the problem during a match against Stuttgart last month.

Schmeichel described the diagnosis as "devastating" after learning he has torn his bicep, rotator cuff, labrum, and dislocated the shoulder. Medical experts estimate a 10-12 month rehabilitation period, leaving the veteran goalkeeper uncertain about his future. "I could have potentially played my last ever football game," Schmeichel told CBS Sports Golazo Network, struggling to process the possibility of retirement.

The injury represents a potential career-ending setback for a player who followed in the footsteps of his legendary father Peter Schmeichel. The younger Schmeichel enjoyed a decorated career spanning two decades, including winning the Premier League with Leicester City in 2016 and the FA Cup five years later before moving to Celtic in 2024.
