Celtic fans, we asked for your views after goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel announced his retirement from football. Cost us the Scottish Cup and other games too. Celtic clearly need to recruit but Viljami Sinisalo should be the number one, he's earned the right after stepping up to fill in for Schmeichel.
Viljami Sinisalo has revelled in being Celtic number one and won't give up the gloves without a fight as a summer of change looms at Parkhead. The Finland international replaced the injured Kasper Schmeichel as first-choice goalkeeper in February and helped Martin O'Neill's side secure the Premiership title to leave long-time leaders Hearts crestfallen. As he looks to end the campaign with another trophy in Saturday's Scottish Cup final against Dunfermline, 24-year-old Sinisalo reflected his personal progress.
Dundee United right-back Dario Naamo has been named in Iraq's provisional World Cup squad after having his request to switch allegiance from Finland approved by world governing body Fifa. Born to a Finnish mother and a Kurdish father, he grew up in the Espoo region, where he progressed through the youth academy of local club Honka. Naamo, who turned 21 last week, has played at youth level up to under-21s for Finland but makes the switch in time to be considered by head coach Graham Arnold for this summer's finals in the Americas.
Real Madrid may need another left back as Ferland Mendy could miss a long time after muscle injury. Bad news keeps piling up for Real Madrid in the middle of an internal scandal. This issue has nothing to do with that, but it is still another setback for the club, as it has now been confirmed that Ferland Mendy will undergo surgery. Mendy was injured in the opening minutes of Real Madrid’s win over Espanyol last Sunday. The injury is to the tendon of his right rectus femoris, and it is not just a simple muscle issue with a short recovery time. It has now been confirmed that the left-back needs surgery. Monday was the date set for the procedure in France, according to Marca. The expected recovery time is around five to six months, so Real Madrid may need to look for a replacement in the next transfer windows. Éder Militão also needed surgery Mendy is not the only player dealing with a muscle-related surgery. The French left-back joins Éder Militão in that unfortunate group, as the Brazilian is also expected to miss about the same amount of time. Militão may not return this year (Denis Doyle/Getty Images) His injury happened in a match against Alavés, but it was more serious because he re-injured an area that had already been hurt before. In early April, he was close to returning before this setback forced him out for six months. Militão underwent surgery with well-known doctor Lasse Lempainen in Finland to repair a rupture of the proximal tendon of the biceps femoris in his left leg. Along with missing the rest of Real Madrid’s matches, he will also miss the World Cup with Brazil. The player decided on surgery because he could not continue at less than full strength. The retirement rumors Mendy had started to regain ground later on, but he played in only nine matches all season after suffering several injuries. While the initially reported recovery time was around six months, there are rumors that he could retire. This was reported by Cadena Cope, which posted that “the French left-back suffers a tear of the tendon of the femoral rectum with bone separation. He’ll go through the operating room and could be on leave for a year and with the option of retirement if it does not go well.”
