Jonas Gutierrez hits out at Newcastle United for lack of support in cancer fight

Newcastle United winger Jonas Gutierrez says that he can't forgive the way he was treated by the club during his fight against cancer.

Newcastle United midfielder Jonas Gutierrez has blasted the club for their lack of support in his fight against cancer.

The Argentine was told to find a new club just a couple of months after he had an operation to remove one of his testicles.

Gutierrez has made three appearances for the club since he returned in December, but he is still livid at the way they treated him.

He told The Telegraph: "I won't be able to forgive the way I've been treated, no? I don't think it was the right time nor the circumstances and I think at times like that, you should look after the individual, the player.

"I was operated in Argentina. They removed the testicle. The post-surgery studies were good and well, I went back to England after being discharged. I returned mid-November [2013] and at the beginning to mid-December the manager [Alan Pardew ] said I should find myself another club, that it was best. I understand a lot of things about football that, well, that for the directors it is a business, no?

"It is clear that they look after the club's interests, but I think in a situation like that, you need to save [consider] other things, even more as I had been playing for five years before having this problem. I was always playing."

Gutierrez added that he paid for the medical treatment himself.

His contract runs out at the end of the season.
