Newcastle's Gutierrez returns from cancer

Jonas Gutierrez will make his comeback for Newcastle in an Under-21s game against West Ham on Monday. The 31-year-old returned to the club last month and has been training after overcoming testicular cancer.

Gutierrez had an operation in his native Argentina to remove his left testicle in September after the discovery of a tumour, before undergoing chemotherapy treatment.

His last first-team game was in April, during a brief loan spell at Norwich.
