Jonas Gutierrez: 'I have testicular cancer'

Newcastle United's Jonas Gutierrez reveals that he is battling testicular cancer and has undergone surgery in his native Argentina.

Newcastle United's Jonas Gutierrez has revealed that he has testicular cancer.

The 31-year old winger says that he has had a testicle removed and is now recuperating at home in his native Argentina.

"I detected a tumor in a testicle. When I confirmed the cancer, I went home crying," Gutierrez told TyC Sports.

"I came here and I assumed the costs despite having a contract with Newscastle. Money is not important. What is important is the health.

"I had to start chemotherapy. I had the operation in Argentina, I removed the left testicle. I returned to England and Newcastle told me to leave."

Gutierrez, who signed for Newcastle United in 2008, spent last season on loan at Norwich City.
