Kasper Schmeichel

Former Leicester City goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel announced his retirement on Wednesday due to a serious shoulder injury.

The 39-year-old Dane, the son of goalkeeping great Peter Schmeichel, injured his shoulder during a Europa League match for Celtic against Stuttgart in February.

The following month he underwent surgery to try to save his career, but to no avail.
