The Argentine wideman is back for the Toons after overcoming his battle with cancer. He will play for the Tyneside club in U-21 game against West Ham United.
He sounded very excited and said that he is feeling ‘happy’, Gutierrez said,
'I am good, happy and enjoying every training and every day,' he said. 'I am just looking forward. You never know what can happen in football. The most important thing for me now is to be back and to try to get fit and to be ready if I have a chance of playing. The only thing I can do is do my best.'
Manager Alan Pardew was also effusive about the return of the Argentine and highlighted his importance in this squad.
'We're pleased to have him back,' Pardew said
'Jonas is one of those people who livens up the training ground just with his personality, and obviously his illness has magnified that fact. He hasn't been around much but he's in pretty good shape and we are hoping that in two or three weeks he could be back in and around the first team.
'He's keen to earn his right to play but, like any player here, I have to give him an even keel in terms of access to the first team. It's now up to Jonas but it will certainly be emotional for us and for him when he returns, and we will look forward to it.'
We at TFM would like to wish Jonas a fruitful return to football.
