Viljami Sinisalo has been given a significant opportunity as he starts as the goalkeeper for Celtic in their Europa League match against VfB Stuttgart. The match is scheduled to kick off at 5:45 PM, and for the Finnish keeper, this could be a pivotal moment to solidify his role at Celtic.
Sinisalo Steps Up Amid Schmeichel’s Struggles
Celtic’s regular goalkeeper, Kasper Schmeichel, has been facing challenges on the field, particularly with an ongoing left shoulder issue. This injury has affected his performance, leading to several goals that could have been prevented. His ability to throw and distribute the ball effectively has diminished, contributing to frustrations among fans and analysts alike.
Experts observe that Schmeichel’s struggle may result from his attempt to prioritize his fitness ahead of the upcoming World Cup. A break from play could be beneficial for him, allowing Sinisalo the chance to shine and potentially retain his position.

His previous experience, including an appearance at Ibrox against Rangers, shows that he can handle the intensity of competitive fixtures.
