Tottenham assistant manager Cristian Stellini says manager Antonio Conte won't make their clash with Chelsea this weekend.
The Italian is still recovering after having gallbladder surgery, which has seen him in and out of the Spurs dugout in recent weeks.
The 53-year-old missed his side's 2-0 London derby win against West Ham and is expected to miss out once again, when his former club visit the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
"No, I don't think so. It's not the moment. It's very close though because I can feel his energy. We have a call 3-4 times a day and in the evening," Stellini said in today's pre-match press conference.
"We speak a lot and if we compare with when Antonio had the surgery three weeks ago he is completely involved.
"He can watch the training and the energy is completely different. He's involved in every situation and every decision."
