Tottenham Hotspur's football manager Harry Redknapp has undergone successful minor heart surgery and he's due to be discharged from hospital in the next 48 hours.

64-year-old Redknapp had two stents inserted to unblock coronary arteries and the club says he's in excellent spirits.

Spurs, who've enjoyed a seven-match unbeaten run in the Premier League, are in Russia for a Europa League match tonight against Rubin Kazan.
