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-yr-previous, that has 46 club appearances this term, picked up the knock in the course of Denmark's Nations League quarter-ultimate 2nd-leg defeat in Portugal previous month.

The Danish captain, that has 81 caps, performed on in the five-two reduction that meant the Portuguese progressed 5-three on combination.

Questioned about the likely 5-to-6-week absence, Rodgers informed Celtic TV: "This can be just something that, working day by working day, we will have a look at, but the timeline which was supplied to us was possibly close to about that.
