Louis van Gaal brutally axes Tim Krul from Holland squad after former Manchester United coach reveals veteran Norwich goalkeeper refused to take part in special penalty training

Norwich goalkeeper Tim Krul has been axed from the Holland's World Cup squad by former Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal.

The 34-year-old has been a regular for his national side since he made his debut on the international stage in 2011, but he has been left out of the 25-man shortlist for Holland's Nations League fixtures against Poland and Belgium.

Holland beat Poland 2-0 thanks to goals from Manchester United transfer target and PSV captain Cody Gakpo and former Tottenham winger Steven Bergwijn.
