Tito Vilanova to return to Barcelona dugout

Barcelona have said that Tito Vilanova will be in the dugout for their game against Espanyol tomorrow.

The Barca manager had surgery last month to treat a tumour in his saliva gland.

Assistant coach Jordi Roura told Sky Sports News: "In principle, Vilanova will be on the bench.

"Tito has still to undergo treatment, but he is well, he is full of courage and strength and that is what is important."

The 44-year-old previously received treatment in 2011 after being diagnosed with cancer in his Parotid gland.
