The injury woes of Antonio Conte continue, as the Tottenham Hotspur manager announced via his Instagram profile that he will be forced to take another break from his duties. Despite his eagerness to return to the sidelines after a recent health scare, the Italian coach will have to take more time off to ensure his full recovery.
Conte's responsibility to the club, players, staff, and fans led him to push for an early return, but his latest procedure turned out to be more complex than anticipated, resulting in a setback to his physical well-being. While the decision to rest is a tough one for the Italian coach, it's essential to avoid any long-term effects. "As much as it pains me to say, it's necessary...!" he said.
Following Tottenham's match against AC Milan, Conte stayed back in Italy for further assessments, and it appears he will remain there until his complete recuperation. With the return leg against Milan in the Champions League Round of 16 set for March 8 in London, the manager's presence at the touchline remains uncertain. The question of when he'll return looms large over Spurs, who will be hoping for the best possible outcome.
