Antonio Conte to miss London derby against West Ham

[Geez]

Following a routine post-operation check in Italy yesterday (Wednesday), Antonio Conte will remain at his family home to further and fully recover from his recent gallbladder surgery.

Health is the most important consideration and everyone at the Club wishes him well.

Cristian Stellini will assume First Team responsibility.

I don’t understand why he came back so quickly after surgery

So another Stellini victory.

I do wonder if we are moving towards a leaving for health reasons by mutual agreement. I'm not underpaying Antonio's need for recovery but it would be a very convenient way of parting company. I reckon the games against West Ham and Chelsea could prove pivotal in this.

It will be very interesting if we put in our best performance of the season again. It might even influence what I hope for in the summer, not sure yet.....
