Jonas Gutierrez: “Nobody is going to give you a place just because you have recovered from cancer. You’ve got to be strong and do the best that you can and do the best in every minute that you play.
“It was special but then I know I have to be ready for the next game. The first game back was special but now I am in the same position as the rest of the team and I have to fight for my place if I want to play.
“Every moment on the pitch is special because a few months ago I didn’t know if I was ever going to get back on the pitch.
“I wanted to but you never know what’s coming. Every minute I play I will enjoy it more than ever.
“It’s fantastic to be back and I want more. You always want more and I want to play as much as I can for the rest of the season and I will fight for that.
“The last two years have been really different. I am normally at Newcastle and playing here.
“It wasn’t hard, it was just different. I learned a lot from that and tried to enjoy the moments and now I am living a new life.
“I enjoy day by day training hard and want to get as much time on the pitch between now and the end of the season.
“That is the only thing I worry about at the moment.”
