LONDON (Reuters) - Newcastle United goalkeeper Tim Krul will miss the rest of the season with a cruciate knee ligament injury suffered in the Netherlands' 2-1 win over Kazakhstan in a Euro 2016 qualifier in Astana on Saturday.

The Premier League's bottom club, without a win after eight matches, announced the news on Sunday and recalled inexperienced 18-year-old Freddie Woodman from a loan spell with fourth-tier Crawley Town as back-up for second choice keeper Rob Elliot.
