Great news about an inspiring player.

Jonas Gutierez hasn't played a game of first team football in almost 11 months, but he could be in line for a return to Newcastle this weekend. The winger revealed in September that he had undergone chemotherapy for testicular cancer, and since getting the all-clear from doctors, he returned to training with Newcastle after leaving hospital in November. Gutierez has featured for Newcastle's under 21 side twice in recent weeks, announcing his comeback in style with this screamer against Bolton. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXGsCIH7kME And now manager John Carver has revealed the player will be available for this weekend's game against strugglers Aston Villa. "Jonas Gutierrez is in the squad. There's a possibility he could be on the bench and that's a massive lift for everyone." Naturally, the player was chuffed to bits, and who could blame him? https://twitter.com/elgalgojonas/status/570976413475602432
