Conte back in Italy recovering from surgerypublished at 16:01 Greenwich Mean Time 19 February 2023
Tottenham v West Ham (16:30 GMT)
Tottenham boss Antonio Conte will miss today's game, with assistant boss Cristian Stellini taking charge again.
Conte, 53, rushed back following emergency gallbladder surgery two weeks ago and has been in the dugout for defeats by Leicester and AC Milan.
In an Instagram post, the Italian said he had "underestimated the procedure".
Conte went on to explain that his "great sense of responsibility towards the club, the players, the staff and the fans" had seen him return too early.
Stellini, who oversaw Tottenham's 1-0 win over Manchester City, said: "The stress of it all, it created some problems.
"When he spoke to the doctor they said he needed to take it easy. He will be back soon but not as quickly as he would like.
"We have a call every day, maybe three times a day and every time he wants to come back.
"It's more important than football and this is the reason why the club, Antonio and the doctors made this decision. We don't know the time.
"Antonio not 100% is not Antonio, and this creates stress."
