Tottenham given 'massive boost' for Nottingham Forest

Tottenham Hotspur have been given a major boost ahead of Nottingham Forest's visit next weekend.

Forest will head to north London to face Spurs in the Premier League on Saturday (March 11, at 3pm). Steve Cooper's side claimed a point after the 2-2 draw with Everton at the City Ground on Sunday.

Spurs, meanwhile, fell to a 1-0 defeat at Wolverhampton Wanderers. Head coach Antonio Conte is set to take over preparations ahead of next weekend's match, following a four-game absence.

Conte recently had a procedure to remove his gallbladder, and stayed in his family home in Italy to fully recover from the operation. As a result, assistant manager Cristian Stellini assumed management duties against West Ham, Chelsea, Sheffield United (FA Cup) and Wolves.

Following the defeat at Molineux, Stellini confirmed Conte is expected to return to Hotspur Way today (Monday). "Antonio will be a massive boost for us from tomorrow until the end of the season," he said.

"It is important that Antonio is back. We want to have him back with a different result but the team show to Antonio it is alive.

"They want to win, they want to control the game, they want to dominate the game and this is important I think."
