Jonas Gutierrez says the importance of next Sunday's Wear-Tyne derby is not lost on Newcastle's foreign contingent.
Gutierrez has captained Newcastle of late, but is hoping to be able to pass the armband back to fellow Argentine Fabio Coloccini on Sunday as he closes on a return to full fitness. The 29-year-old added: "Hopefully, Colo will rejoin training next week and then he will be fit for the game. "We know the players who have played this year like Perchie and Willo are doing really great for the team. "We do not have a big squad so we need all of our players back."
