Antonio Conte has confirmed surgery to remove his gallbladder has 'gone well' and said he 'can't wait' to return as the Tottenham head coach prepares to undergo a period of recovery.
Conte underwent the operation in Italy today after been diagnosed with cholecystitis, an inflammation of the gallbladder usually caused by gallstones.
The 53-year-old had been diagnosed after suffering from severe abdominal pain when he was spending time with his family in Turin, following Tottenham's FA Cup win over Preston.
In an Instagram message, Conte confirmed the surgery had gone well and thanked fans for their support.
'Thank you for your lovely messages, my surgery has gone well and I’m already feeling better,' Conte wrote. 'Now’s time to recover, I can’t wait to get back on the field with the team.'
