Antonio Conte is unlikely to be on the touchline for Tottenham's match against Manchester City on Sunday after successful surgery to remove his gallbladder but there is some hope he could be well enough to be in the stadium.
Conte is recuperating in Italy after going under the knife in his homeland on Wednesday. The 53-year-old, who lives out of a London hotel when he is in the UK, had returned home for a few days off following Spurs' FA Cup fourth-round win over Preston on Saturday.
