text: Jonas Gutierrez was dropped after a fallout with Newcastle head coach John Carver – and is now set to be released at the end of the season. The Argentinian – who has twice beaten testicular cancer - was not even named among the substitutes for Sunday’s 3-1 defeat at home to Spurs. Afterwards, Carver said Gutierrez was left out for ‘selection reasons’ before stating that he did not want to talk about the player. Jonas Gutierrez was dropped from squad for Sunday's defeat by Tottenham following row with John Carver . The 31-year-old had earlier posted a message on Twitter saying that he was not injured. Indeed, sources close to Gutierrez say that he was axed following a heated exchange with Carver. Gutierrez was upset when he was dropped from the starting XI for last week’s 3-0 loss at Liverpool. He had been United’s best player during the Tyne-Wear derby defeat at Sunderland in the previous game and was surprised by his omission, which was explained as a tactical switch to pair Jack Colback and Mehdi Abeid in midfield. What followed was a training-ground disagreement with Carver and Gutierrez tweeted on Thursday, ‘I am tired about some things. I am Geordie. Newcastle deserves more’. Meanwhile, a source added: ‘They are treating him very badly. He does not deserve this. He just wants to play for Newcastle.’ Gutierrez’s contract is up in the summer and he will be let go after seven years at the club. The clause which meant he would be guaranteed an extension after eight starts this season cannot now be activated. However, Sportsmail also understands that Gutierrez trained with the first-team on Monday and will be in the squad for Saturday’s visit of Swansea with both Carver and the player keen to move on from their dispute. The midfielder has long since been critical of his treatment by the Magpies after they told him to find a new club when he returned to Tyneside having beaten the cancer for the first time in November, 2013. Newcastle midfielder was given a heartfelt ovation when he appeared as a substitute at Anfield . Gutierrez was eventually loaned out to Norwich City for the remainder of the season. The cancer, however, returned last summer and he underwent a course of chemotherapy in Argentina. He returned to Newcastle in December and has made five appearances, the last of which came as a second-half substitute at Anfield when he was given a heartfelt ovation by the home fans. And, in an interview last month, Gutierrez spoke of his disappointment at the manner in which Newcastle had handled his illness. 'I won't be able to forgive the way I've been treated, no,’ he said. Gutierrez will not be offered a new deal by Newcastle despite seven years at the club . '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 returned mid-November (2013) and in December the manager said I should find myself another club, that it was best. I understand a lot of things about football 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 consider other things, even more as I had been playing for five years before having this problem. I was always playing. 'And I never asked for anything. I paid for it [medical treatment] because, for me, the most important thing was my health.'
