THE FUSE

Speaking in an emotional interview with TV 2 Sport in Parken, the 39-year-old shot-stopper revealed the heartbreaking reality of his situation. "When my contract expires with Celtic in June, I will stop my active football career," Schmeichel confirmed. "It’s a decision that has been made for me. I have consulted with various surgeons and experts regarding my shoulder, and they have told me that I should not expect to return to play top football. I’ve given it a lot of thought, but I believe that now is the right time."
