Celtic goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel has had mixed performances at Celtic Park in recent weeks. However, Martin O'Neill has continued to start him in both the league and the Europa League.
The Denmark international joined Celtic on a free transfer in July 2024 and impressed in his debut season. He kept 24 clean sheets in all competitions for the Bhoys and conceded 47 goals in 49 matches.
His statistics this season are not as impressive as before. To give context, the stopper has kept 14 clean sheets and conceded 49 goals in 39 matches so far. The 39-year-old has maintained only three clean sheets in 11 matches this calendar year.
campo Now claims Schmeichel is 'going through a tough time' with O'Neill's side, which has clearly not gone unnoticed in his country.
The Celtic player has been the number 1 for the national team in past years. Since June 2024, he only missed the friendly win over Northern Ireland last summer as manager Brian Reimer started Filip Jorgensen ahead of him. That was the Chelsea player's only appearance for Denmark.
Reimer's warning to Celtic player
Earlier this month, Sport Witness Danish claims covered This shows that Reimer does not dare to remove the former Leicester City star.
ViaPlay spoke to the stopper regarding his situation and Campo shared his comments. The national team manager has now issued a warning to the Celtic man.
"I look at putting together the best team, and I always do that. How I do that is by looking at the players and their performances. And looking at the composition of the group that is going to play," He said.
"Nobody is guaranteed a permanent place in the Danish national team. This applies to Schmeichel, Pierre-Emile Højbjerg and Rasmus Højlund."
NT manager's message to Celtic man's critics
On 9 February, Game Witness cover danish take It is 'absolute madness' that West Ham United's Mads Hermansson or Jorgensen were not given opportunities. On Monday, we relayed more claims That Schmeichel is no longer 'good enough' for the national team.
Despite repeated criticism, Reimer has now sent a message to Schmeichel's critics.
"I follow my heart, and that doesn't mean I do what everyone wants me to do, but I listen to my heart and go out to the team that feels right to me. No one is guaranteed a spot, no matter what position they play or who they are," Reimer explained.
Denmark will face North Macedonia in the World Cup playoffs in March. If Schmeichel fails to impress at Celtic in the coming weeks the debate about his position could intensify.
