Antonio Conte to undergo surgery after Tottenham boss became unwell with severe pain

Tottenham head coach Antonio Conte is to have his gallbladder removed on Wednesday after suffering from "severe abdominal pain" earlier this morning.

The Italian could be absent for up to a couple of weeks following the surgery and his assistant Cristian Stellini is expected to take charge of Sunday's Premier League fixture against Manchester City.

"Antonio recently became unwell with severe abdominal pain," a Spurs statement said. "Following a diagnosis of cholecystitis, he will be undergoing surgery to remove his gallbladder today (Wednesday) and will return following a period of recuperation. Everyone at the club wishes him well."
