Gutierrez Hints At Coloccini Return

Newcastle United midfielder Jonas Gutierrez has hinted that colleague and fellow Argentine, Fabricio Coloccini may return before the end of the season, but that he won't come back to play a bit part for the club. Gutierrez told the Evening Standard that Coloccini has a history of recovering well from injury but that when he returns it will because he is fit to play 90 minutes.

He said;

"Yes. When he got the injury they said six to eight weeks only. When you talk about Colo we know he can do it quicker. He always does the right things and he doesn't have any problems, so we will see him soon.

I spoke with him and he's feeling better. It is a long-term injury of about a month or so. Therefore it was going to be hard to bring him back in the condition that he left. We know what type of professional he is and we understand he can't come back and just play a little bit. We all want him back to play full games. We want him back as quickly as possible because he's really important for us."

The club are hoping that Coloccini will be fit for their away game against Benfica on 11th April.

The way our full backs are dropping we may need Yanga Mbiwa to play at rb so Colo cant come back soon enough for me! I'm dreading seeing Williamson play for the club again!
