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.

Meanwhile, Spurs midfielder Yves Bissouma is to have ankle surgery.

The Mali international will have an operation on Friday to repair a stress fracture to his left ankle, with a timescale for his recovery yet to be determined.

Speaking about Conte's return to training, Spurs assistant manager Cristian Stellini said: "This morning he was on the pitch with us.

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

"He didn't speak about what he would do in the next match but he is back and we are happy."
