Redknapp to return to Spurs Soon

Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp has revealed he will be back on the touchline at White Hart Lane soon.  The 64-year-old experienced chest pains and struggling to breathe as he ran at home. Redknapp had been taking medication for blocked or narrow arteries, but had to undergo surgery after feeling his chest tighten during exercise.

The Spurs manager had two stents inserted to unblock coronary arteries on Wednesday, forcing him to miss Thursday’s Europa League Group A game at Rubin Kazan. He told The Sun:

“I have a running machine at home and run or jog for around half an hour several times a week to help stay fit. But this time I went on and had been running for no more than about two minutes when I felt pains in my chest. I had hardly got going when it went tight and I was struggling to breathe. I just stopped running there and then and I went to see the club doctor at Spurs. He got me in to see a specialist on Saturday and by Monday I was in hospital.”

Redkanpp looks set to return soon after his doctor told him to put his feet up “for the next couple of weeks.”

He said: “That’s handy because after this weekend we have a break for international matches coming up anyway. After that I’ll be back in at Tottenham and back on the training pitch.”
