Tottenham assistant boss Cristian Stellini has explained what happened to Antonio Conte before he needed surgery to remove his gall bladder.
Conte fell ill on Sunday with severe abdominal pain while back home in Italy during a couple of days off after the FA Cup win at Preston. Following a diagnosis of cholecystitis, the Spurs head coach successfully underwent surgery to remove his gallbladder on Wednesday ahead of a period of recuperation.
Stellini admitted that while Conte began to feel unwell in Saturday's game at Preston, everyone thought it was something more standard.
