Antonio Conte: Tottenham boss to miss London derby against West Ham

Tottenham manager Antonio Conte will miss Sunday's game against West Ham as he continues to recover from surgery to remove his gallbladder.

He had the operation in his native Italy two weeks ago.

"Following a routine post-operation check in Italy yesterday, Antonio Conte will remain at his family home to recover from his recent surgery," Spurs added.

"Everyone at the club wishes him well. Cristian Stellini will assume first-team duties."

Conte stayed in Italy for his post-operation check following Tottenham's 1-0 first-leg defeat at AC Milan on Tuesday in the last 16 of the Champions League.
