Jonas Gutierrez was diagnosed with testicular cancer last September, but come November, he was in remission. It was fantastic news for the Newcastle United player, who is now working on a return to the pitch.

That return means building up his fitness, which he’s doing with the U-21 team. And on Monday night, he got his first goal since returning.
Gutierrez’s contract with Newcastle expires after the season and it’s not clear if he’s going to get a new one, but that’s a small matter right now.
He’s back, he’s cancer-free and now, he has a goal. Hopefully he has about 100 more left in him. We’re rooting for you, Jonas.
