Tottenham manager Antonio Conte has said that he “can’t wait to get back on the field” after confirming that his surgery to remove his gallbladder was successful.
Conte was diagnosed with cholecystitis – inflammation in the gallbladder – and looks likely to miss Spurs’ home clash with Manchester City in the Premier League on Sunday.
