Redkapp warned by doctors not to rush return

The 64-year-old Tottenham Hotspur manager revealed yesterday that he has been informed, following last week’s operation, that he should not return to work until mid-December.
“(The doctor is) telling me I shouldn’t even think about (returning) for at least four or five weeks. I hope to be back before then,” Redknapp, who missed the victory over Fulham, said.
“I’m not one for sitting about. It’s difficult but I’ve got to do it, I’ve got to take my time really and listen to what the doctors tell me and try not to get too stressed out. I think stress is what causes most of your problems anyway so I’m going to try and relax as best I can, watch the game without getting too stressed — it’s not going to be easy I’m sure — but I’ll be fine.
“I’ve just got to take my time now, make sure when I’m ready I come back and get on with it but not until I get the go ahead from the people in charge.”
Redknapp underwent a minor procedure to unblock coronary arteries, withdrawing from the midweek Europa League trip to Russia before being released from hospital on Thursday. He had two stents inserted, while the treatment is known as a coronary angioplasty and is classed as a routine procedure.
