Barcelona head coach Tito Vilanova will travel back to New York this week for a medical check-up after having treatment on a tumour there in December.
.
Vilanova, 44, was in the dug-out on Sunday as his side moved to the brink of the Spanish title with a 4-2 win against Real Betis at the Nou Camp.
.
If Real Madrid fail to win on Wednesday Barca will secure the trophy, meaning Vilanova could miss the celebrations.
.
"I am going for some tests and I will be back on Thursday," he said. Vilanova - who was promoted from assistant coach last summer when Pep Guardiola ended his four-year long tenure - spent 10 weeks in the US city undergoing radiotherapy and chemotherapy sessions.
.
Following that program, he returned to take charge of the first team in March.
.
That was the second time he had been diagnosed with a cancerous growth on his saliva gland, after previously having surgery in November 2011.
