BARCELONA coach Tito Vilanova yesterday vowed a swift return from cancer surgery that may sideline him for six weeks in a shock for the Spanish league leader.
"I will be away for a while but I will be back soon," Barcelona sports newspaper Mundo Deportivo quoted Vilanova as telling his players the night before he went in for surgery to his salivary gland.
A newspaper close to Barca, Sport, reported that he had undergone surgery yesterday.
"I think that all of us in Spain without exception, regardless of ideology and even of sporting preference, are with Tito, who is being operated on right now," Spain's Sports Minister Jose Ignacio Wert told radio station COPE earlier.
Vilanova, 44, has led Barcelona to its best league start ever but the club said he will be in hospital for four days and then need up to six weeks of chemotherapy or radiotherapy.
"We will have to try to go on as normally as possible but there will not be total normality because Tito is the coach and now for a few weeks he will not be there," the club's president Sandro Rosell said.
