Newcastle United’s Jonas Gutierrez has been given the all-clear after receiving treatment for testicular cancer.

The Argentine winger had been receiving treatment since September in his home country.

He announced the development on Twitter on Monday, saying: “Today I was given a medical discharge. Thank you very much to all who accompanied me at this time, especially my family, my parents, brothers, grandmother and friends”.
