An elbow injury has forced Newcastle United goalkeeper Tim Krul to be withdrawn from Dutch national team.

Krul, who suffered the injury during a training session on Saturday, will be replaced by Kenneth Vermeer.

Vermeer likely won't see any playing time during the country's next European Championship qualifier against Iceland, as Jasper Cillessen has a firm grip on Holland's starting job.

The news is bitterly disappointing for Newcastle if Krul is forced to miss an extended period of time as the club sits in a three-way tie for last place in the Premier League with four points through seven matches.
