Barcelona president Sandro Rosell has revealed that Tito Vilanova will return to his managerial duties in under three weeks' time.
The coach has been out of action since mid-December, when he required surgery after being diagnosed with parotid gland cancer for the second time.
Rosell hopes that the former assistant to Pep Guardiola will be able to juggle his chemotherapy while coaching Barca, but insists that Vilanova's recovery is the priority over footballing matters.
The club president told reporters in Dubai: "He will return to work in15 or 20 days, but he will be going back and forth from the hospital and he will be resting.
