It was an early return for Krul, who was originally expected to miss six weeks after suffering an ankle injury against West Ham on Nov. 29.
Krul faced a stiff test upon his return as Newcastle traveled to London to face league leaders Chelsea.
The Dutch 'keeper was forced to make three saves on 11 shot attempts, but goals from Oscar and Diego Costa ultimately saw Newcastle suffer its first Premier League loss of 2015.
