Antonio Conte: Tottenham manager returns to work after gallbladder surgery

Tottenham manager Antonio Conte returned to work on Thursday after surgery to remove his gallbladder.

Conte, 53, had the operation in his native Italy last week after suffering with severe abdominal pain, and missed Sunday's 1-0 win over Manchester City.

He returned to England on Wednesday, but it is not yet known if he will be on the touchline for Saturday's Premier League match at Leicester.

"This morning he was on the pitch with us," said assistant Cristian Stellini.

"He has to take it easy for a bit but we were so happy to meet him again at the training ground.
