Newcastle United winger Jonas Gutierrez handed all-clear following treatment for testicular cancer He wrote on Twitter: "Today I was given a medical discharge. Thank you very much to all [the people] who have accompanied me at this time, especially my family, my parents , brothers , godmother, friends, He has admitted on Twitter that he has been overwhelmed by the well-wishing messages and support he has been given by Newcastle fans, who have chanted his name at every game since he went public with his health scare. The former Real Mallorca player still has seven months remaining on his contract and although he was told he should look for a new club last season, he would be welcomed back by manager Alan Pardew if he wants to build up his fitness in an effort to resume his playing career. Gutiérrez has tried hard to maintain his fitness while receiving medical treatment in Argentina and ran a marathon last month in order to raise money for cancer charities. Gutiérrez initially kept his health problems secret, telling only close friends and relatives, but the 31-year-old eventually decided he had to reveal the torment he had suffered. Gutiérrez was once easily recognisable because of his long black hair and he admits he tried to hide his illness when it began to fall out during his treatment, telling people he had decided to shave it all off. However, he realised he could not keep his health scare quiet and paid tribute to the support he has received from other players, such as Gabriel Heinze, Newcastle team-mate Fabio Coloccini and Manchester City's Martin Demichelis, in a televised interview with TyC Sport. Newcastle supporters would certainly love to see one of the heroes of their Championship promotion campaign back at the club, although his return is complicated by the fact he would automatically be entitled to a one-year contract extension if he plays another two games for Newcastle.
