Jonas Gutierrez is heading back to Newcastle United Football Club to continue his rehabilitation.

The Argentine winger has been in his homeland after cracking his collarbone whilst on international duty, but he will not continue on his road to recovery on Tyneside.

"It's just a process now, not a matter of days, unfortunately, but I'm hoping it'll be three or four weeks from when he suffered the initial injury," caretaker boss Chris Hughton told the official club site.

"He's had medical treatment over there. He comes back early next week to maintain what he's done so far and to carry on his rehab. It's his right clavicle that he's cracked, but he hasn't had an operation."
