Newcastle United's Tim Krul: 'It's great to be back in training'

Newcastle United goalkeeper Tim Krul has insisted that it feels "great to be back" in training following his spell on the sidelines with a dislocated shoulder.

The Dutchman required surgery after suffering the injury in April, resulting in Rob Elliot taking his place in goal for the closing stages of the 2012-13 season.

"It's great to be back in full training and I'm looking forward to the game," the Daily Star quotes Krul as saying.

Krul is expected to feature in Newcastle's pre-season friendly against Rangers on August 6.
