Despite missing out most of the 2014–15 season with a knee injury, Gutiérrez was included in the Chile squad for the Copa América. Up until then, Gutiérrez was on the substitute bench in the first four matches of the tournament and appeared once in the semi–final of the Copa América when he came on as a substitute for Jorge Valdivia in the 86th minute, in a 1–0 win over Peru on 30 June 2015. Despite this, Chile went on to win their first Copa América.
