Krul's World Cup Hopes Take Another Battering

Last updated : 27 March 2014 By Footy Mad - Editor

... Tim Krul is a doubt for Newcastle United’s visit to Southampton on Saturday.

He has to impress the Dutch coach in the remaining fixtures, but I'm sure Newcastle's 3-0 defeat on Wednesday was not the right signal to send.

I'm not suggesting it was Krul's fault, but he needs some good press from now to May.

Deputy Rob Elliot has been put on standby, with Krul having picked up a knee injury after a second-half collision with Everton forward Romelu Lukaku.

Jak Alnwick, Newcastle’s third-choice goalkeeper, was pulled out of last night’s Under-21 game against Manchester United as he could be needed on the bench against Mauricio Pochettino’s side.
