Kasper Schmeichel hails "sensational" Mark Schwarzer

Kasper Schmeichel praises the effect that Mark Schwarzer has had at Leicester City since moving to the club from Chelsea in January.

Kasper Schmeichel has hailed the effect that veteran keeper Mark Schwarzer has had at Leicester City since joining the club in January.

The 42-year-old moved to the Foxes on a free transfer from Chelsea to cover for the Dane after he sustained a broken foot in December.

Schmeichel feels that the Australian's presence has been felt not only on the pitch but also on the training ground due to his high level of professionalism.

"He's fantastic," he told the club's official website. "There's no other way to describe him, he's sensational. To be doing what he's doing and seeing him day in, day out in training is quite incredible.

"He's an example for all young goalkeepers and I'm learning lots from him. I've really enjoyed working with him and seeing how he conducts himself on and off the pitch.

"In training and the way he works is great for me and the other 'keepers at the Club to see. Not just the 'keepers, but all the players at the club. To have the desire and professionalism to still be playing at his age and at the level he is, is a credit to him."

Schmeichel made his first start since his injury in his side's 4-3 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur last week.
