Leicester goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel: I'm okay

Leicester City goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel says he's fine after being knocked out cold on the weekend.

Schmeichel was forced to visit hospital after being knocked out in Denmark's victory over Iceland.

"I went on the doctors' recommendations not to take any chances. Fortunately, it was just a blow. It was not as bad as it looked. I've seen the incident now and it looked a lot worse than it was," says Schmeichel.

"I'm fine this morning, I've slept well and am ready for training. I saw the situation on television afterwards and it did not look comfortable. It was not comfortable at the moment either, but that is what can happen in football."
