Antonio Conte will be in charge for Tottenham’s crunch Champions League showdown with AC Milan on Wednesday.
Conte is expected to take training on Monday after flying back to London following an extended rehabilitation period having undergone emergency gallbladder surgery. But the manager returns to growing uncertainty at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as Spurs suffered a major setback to their top-four hopes after losing in the Premier League at Wolves on Saturday and their exit from the FA Cup last week.
Tottenham trail 1-0 from last month’s first leg of the last-16 tie with Milan and will be under huge pressure to turn it around in the second leg because an early European exit would be another financial blow.
