Tottenham have confirmed that Antonio Conte will undergo surgery on Wednesday to remove his gallbladder following a diagnosis of cholecystitis. The head coach will then return to his duties at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium after a period of recuperation.
A statement on the club's official website read: "Antonio Conte recently became unwell with severe abdominal pain. 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."
Although Tottenham have not put an exact timeframe on when he will return, Conte will be forced to take a break from his managerial commitments until he has fully recovered from surgery. According to NHS guidance, it takes a minimum of two weeks to return to normal activities after gallbladder removal surgery.
