TOTTENHAM HEAD COACH Antonio Conte says surgery to remove his gallbladder has “gone well” as he starts a spell of recovery.

The procedure has now taken place, and Conte is set for a period away from work to recuperate.
“Thank you for your lovely messages, my surgery has gone well and I’m already feeling better,” a post on Conte’s Instagram story feed read.
“Now’s time to recover, I can’t wait to get back on the field with the team.”
Conte’s assistant Cristian Stellini is expected to step in when Spurs host Manchester City on Sunday.
Tottenham also face Premier League matches against Leicester, West Ham and Chelsea this month, as well as a trip to the San Siro for the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie against AC Milan on 14 February.
