Tito Vilanova to travel to Paris

Tito Vilanova to travel to Paris

Barcelona have confirmed that Tito Vilanova will travel with the team for Tuesday's Champions League clash against Paris Saint-Germain.

The 44-year-old has spent the last two months in New York, where he has been receiving treatment for throat cancer.

However, he has since returned to Spain and in a short statement on the club's official website, it was revealed that he will be part of the travelling party that heads to the French capital.

Although he will be with the squad, he is not expected to take up the managerial duties. They will be left to assistant Jordi Roura, who has been filling the void in Vilanova's absence.
