• Manager recovering in Italy after gallbladder surgery
• Tottenham face Manchester City at home on Sunday

Antonio Conte will learn on Saturday whether he has been passed fit to attend Tottenham’s match against Manchester City as he recovers from surgery to remove his gallbladder.

Conte is recuperating in Italy after Wednesday’s operation. He will take medical advice on whether he is able to be at Sunday’s game and in what capacity, with full involvement on the touchline highly unlikely even if he is cleared to travel. His assistant, Cristian Stellini, would manage the team in his absence.
