Former Newcastle winger, Jonas Gutierrez, is suing Newcastle United over the way he was treated after he was diagnosed of having testicular cancer.
Gutierrez is accusing Newcastle of discrimination because of the ailment. The case is to be heard by an Employment Tribunal in March next year.
The 32 year old Argentinean was released by the club at the end of last season after being with them for 7 years.
Gutierrez who now plays for Deportivo La Coruna only made 10 appearances for the club after the initial diagnosis in 2013.
Gutierrez is said to be aggrieved that the club "did not care" about him as they informed him of their release of him over the phone.
