Jonas Gutierrez: Newcastle winger being treated for testicular cancer Newcastle midfielder Jonas Gutierrez has thanked fans for their support after revealing that he is being treated for testicular cancer. The winger, 31, says
he had an operation in Argentina to remove his left testicle after the discovery of a tumour and is undergoing chemotherapy. "Thanks for all the messages. Always looking forward," he wrote on Twitter.
Gutierrez, who was on loan at Norwich last season, has scored 10 goals in 177 league appearances for the Magpies.
The former Velez Sarsfield and Mallorca player revealed his illness during an television interview in Argentina on Tuesday night.
"I detected a tumour in a testicle. When I confirmed the cancer, I went home crying," he told TyC Sports.
"I came here and I assumed the costs despite having a contract with Newcastle.
"Money is not important. What is important is health. I had to start chemotherapy."
