Newcastle goalie Tim Krul will not be able to play any more matches this season after picking up a serious knee injury. The Dutch goalkeeper ruptured an anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee during his country's 2-1 victory over Kazakhstan, an Euro 2016 qualifying match played on Saturday.
The 27-year-old goalie is set to return at the club for treatment. He posted on Twitter: "I'm devastated the scan has confirmed my biggest fear . . . My recovery and hard work starts now to fully recover." He has been the number one for the Magpies in all eight Premier League matches of the season. Now the club have decided to recall backup goalie Freddie Woodman from his loan deal at Crawley Town in League Two.
Krul has joined Newcastle in 2005 as a youth player and was promoted to the senior squad in 2006. He has made 155 appearances for the club and earned 8 caps for the Netherlands. In the 2013-2014 season a string of superb performances earned him the award for November's Premier League Player of the Month.
Newcastle are currently last in the Premier League table and they are 1.61 at Bet365 to avoid relegation this season.

The Dutch goalkeeper is one of their best players. His deputy, Rob Elliot is not an experienced player so Newcastle will be in a big trouble if they don't sign new player or players in the next transfer window.

The Dutch goalkeeper is one of their best players. His deputy, Rob Elliot is not an experienced player so Newcastle will be in a big trouble if they don't sign new player or players in the next transfer window. As I know Newcastle are in a good financial situation so they should be a good and talented goalkeeper. In my opinion Oblak would be the best choice for them. I really miss that time when Newcastle were one of the best teams in the Premier League...

This is very bad news for Newcaste United and all their fans. He is really reliable goalkeeper and I really don't see that anybody can replace him and play on his level. Now people in Newcastle must find good replace for Krul if they want to do something more in Premier league because he saved a lot of points for Newcastle...

Big loss for Holland national team too, wish him a fast recovery from that.

I'm very sorry, excellent goalie, it's a very serious injury and it takes a long time to recover. And when he recovers, he will always be afraid of a duel with opposing players. Newcastle is now in an even more difficult situation. I wish him a speedy recovery and that he returns to the field soon.
