Newcastle United goalkeeper Tim Krul has spoken to the Dutch media about the struggles he’s had since picking up a serious knee injury last year. The Netherlands international is currently on loan with Ajax in order to get back to match fitness.
“It really sucks. I have deep respect for guys like Kevin Strootman who had more than one cruciate ligament injury. Mentally you’ve got to be hard, but fortunately it seems there is light at the end of the tunnel,” said the Newcastle United owned goalkeeper.
Due to Newcastle United signing Matz Sels early in the last transfer window from Gent, Krul was sent on loan to Ajax to get more opportunities. Krul played just nine games for Newcastle United in the last campaign before his injury on international duty. However, Krul only made his senior competitive debut for Ajax last night after coming through some friendlies in recent weeks.
