The injury kept Schmeichel out of the Celtic team for weeks as he missed crucial games against Rangers and the Scottish Cup semi-final against St Johnstone.

Now back in first-team action, the Celtic goalkeeper is in not doubt about who he is blaming for his injury as he opens up while on international duty this month.

Kasper Schmeichel blames the ‘rules’ after Celtic hero’s Denmark injury

There is this rule in football where the referee can’t stop the match until the current phase of play is over due to the implementation of VAR.

And that is exactly what Schmeichel in blaming for the injury he picked up over two months ago.

Schmeichel told Ekstra Bladet, “I heard the crack. It was right up to my left ear. It really hurt. The pain was very intense.

“It’s one of those unfortunate situations that could have been avoided if the flag had been up.

“I think many collisions could be avoided in football because of the rules that exist now.”

How Kasper Schmeichel really feels after Celtic star’s shoulder injury

Now ready to take on Northern Ireland on Saturday night and Lithuania on Tuesday, Schmeichel has shared how his shoulder really feels heading into the international double-header.

Schmeichel continued, “I didn’t have surgery. The shoulder just had to grow together. In fact, I was back on the training pitch after just a week and a half, where I could play with my feet.

“In May I was given the green light to train after all the scans were positive. And since then I haven’t had any pain and my shoulder is completely fine again.”

With two international fixtures in the next five days, Celtic fans will be keen to see Schmeichel return from Denmark duty fully fit and injury free.
