Tito Vilanova travels to New York

Barcelona manager Tito Vilanova will not be in the dugout for tomorrow night's Copa del Rey match against Cordoba, after flying to New York for further consultation on his cancer treatment.

Vilanova had an operation to remove a tumour on his parotid gland last month and was given the all-clear to return to the Barca dugout for last weekend's 4-0 win over Espanyol.

The Barca boss has flown to the United States to visit the Sloan-Kettering Memorial Hospital, an institution with strong links to the centre in Barcelona which carried out his latest procedure

It is not yet clear whether Vilanova will be present at the club's next La Liga match when Barca travel to in-form Malaga on Sunday.
