KASPER SCHMEICHEL left his team-mate red-faced after producing an incredible piece of skill in training.
The former Leicester star linked up with the Denmark squad for the October international break ahead of Euro 2024 qualifiers against Kazakhstan and San Marino.
And the goalkeeper literally left his team-mate red-faced after a stunning piece of skill in training.
In a video shared to social media, Schmeichel and his fellow goalkeepers were practising their headers and volleys with a game of foot tennis.
As the ball was headed to his side of the net, Schmeichel’s partner passed the ball high in the air back towards the net.
The 36-year-old then performed a stunning bicycle kick to get the ball over the net.

However, his kick went straight towards his opponent, appearing to hit them in the face and seeing them crumple to the floor in shock.
Fans were left stunned by the overhead kick, with one writing: “Air Schmeichel 👏.”
A second said: “When Giroud can take the box, Kaver can also play Giroud,” a reference to ex-Arsenal and Chelsea ace Olivier Giroud playing in goal for AC Milan over the weekend.
A third commented: “Kasper 😱 Amazing.”
