Krul is one of four goalkeepers who has been picked by Louis van Gaal for the finals in Brazil and is hoping for the call next week.
Tim Krul: “It’s difficult to say and I don’t want to tempt fate, obviously.
“I’ve played a lot of games for Newcastle this season and haven’t had the sort of injury problems that I had last year, so that has been a positive, but you just never know.
“There a lot of good goalkeepers in Holland going for those three places and it seems like everything is still open.
“You’ve got the likes of Michel Vorm, Jeroen Zoet, Maarten Stekelenburg – who hasn’t played too much recently – and Jasper Cillessen, who is a champion in Holland.”
