DENMARK boss Brian Riemer has ruled out allowing veteran Celtic keeper Kasper Schmeichel to leave his camp early to get some rest time, even though he may not feature this week.
The Hoops keeper will turn 39 in November, but is still regarded as Denmark's No.1 ahead of their World Cup qualifiers against Scotland later this year.
Schmeichel has 113 caps for his country, but the only other keeper in the Danish squad to even be capped is Oliver Christensen of Salernitana, who has only played once for his country.

The Danes face Northern Ireland and Lithuania this week in friendlies and Riemer has confirmed he will be using his other keepers.
But he has no intention of allowing the former Leicester City star to get some extra rest.
He said: "There is no question of Kasper or any player leaving the camp early unless they are injured.
"I haven't decided anything about the starting lineup, but I understand that we need to look at all our goalkeepers because so few have actually played international football apart from Kasper.
"Mads Hermansen is currently injured and he also doesn't have any international matches.
"We are in a situation where it is a factor that is in my head, which I acknowledge.
"We have two goalkeepers here, besides Kasper, who have been involved very little, even just in training, with the national team.
"So I have to see a lot of them this week and then I have to make some decisions."
