Antonio Conte will again step away from first-team duties at Tottenham following a routine post-operation check in Italy.
The Spurs manager returned to the touchline at Leicester last weekend and was present again for Tuesday's 1-0 defeat at AC Milan.
However, he will remain in his home country after undergoing surgery to remove his gallbladder two weeks ago.
"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," a club statement read.
"Health is the most important consideration and everyone at the club wishes him well.
"Cristian Stellini will assume first-team responsibility."
