Newcastle winger Jonas gets all clear

Newcastle United winger Jonas Gutierrez has announced he's clear of cancer.

The 31-year-old revealed in September that he was having treatment following the diagnosis of testicular cancer in his native Argentina.

But he took to Twitter on Monday evening to announce in Spanish: "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, godmother, friends and (partner) Alejandra Maglietti."
