Speaking to Voetbal International, Ajax Amsterdam manager Peter Bosz has gone on to state that he does not know when goalkeeper Tim Krul will be returning to action.

Krul suffered a devastating cruciate ligament rupture in October last season and as a result of the injury the Dutchman has not played any competitive football for nearly a year.

It is believed that Krul is well on course to making a full recovery and despite the fitness problems, the 28-year-old made a switch from Newcastle United to Ajax this summer on a season-long loan deal.

Krul was not involved in the Ajax match-day squad that beat Go Ahead Eagles 3-0 before the international round of fixtures, but following the extended break over the past two weeks it has widely been suspected that the goalkeeper could potentially make his debut for the Dutch giants in the clash against Vitesse on Sunday.

Ajax manager Peter Bosz has been spoken regarding Krul ahead of the encounter this weekend and surprisingly, the 52-year-old has stated that he is also not sure as to when the Netherlands international will be ready to make his debut.

Bosz said: “Kurl is a different story. I probably get that question every week, but I really do not know how long it will take. If you have been out eight, nine, ten months you must again get back into rhythm.”
