AdminTottenham have announced that goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario has undergone surgery after sustaining an ankle injury during their win against Manchester City.
The Italian shot-stopper picked up the injury in a first-half collision but displayed remarkable resilience, continuing to play for the remainder of the match.
Subsequent scans revealed a fracture in his right ankle, necessitating surgery, which was carried out on Monday.
In a statement, the club confirmed: “We can confirm that Guglielmo Vicario has today undergone surgery for a fracture of his right ankle.
Guglielmo will be assessed by our medical staff to determine when he can return to training. We’re all behind you, Vic.”
Vicario has been a key figure for Spurs this season, delivering a string of impressive performances since his arrival in the summer.
His absence will undoubtedly be a significant blow for manager Ange Postecoglou as Tottenham navigate a demanding period of fixtures in both the Premier League and Europe.
While the club has not provided a specific timeline for Vicario’s recovery, it is expected he will be sidelined for several weeks. In the meantime, Spurs are likely to turn to backup goalkeeper Fraser Forster to fill the void.
Fans and teammates alike have rallied behind Vicario, wishing him a speedy recovery as he begins his rehabilitation process.
