Unfortunately, Tottenham goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario is going to be out of action for a while. He recently underwent surgery on his fractured ankle, an injury he sustained during the team's impressive 4-0 victory over Manchester City on Saturday. Despite being in pain, Vicario played through the entire match and even made it to the final whistle.
On Monday, Tottenham confirmed that Vicario had surgery on his ankle, but did not specify how long he would be out for. It seems like it will be a lengthy recovery period. In their statement, the club said, "We can confirm that Guglielmo Vicario has today undergone surgery for a fracture of his right ankle. The 28-year-old suffered the injury during Saturday's Premier League victory at Manchester City. Guglielmo will be assessed by our medical staff to determine when he can return to training. We're all behind you, Vic."
During the game against Manchester City, Vicario received treatment for his injury, but managed to tough it out and help his team secure the win. Luckily, Tottenham has a very experienced backup goalkeeper in Fraser Forster, who has been with the club since 2022. Forster hasn't played in a Premier League game since the 2022/23 season, but has been in action in the Carabao Cup and Europa League this season.
Vicario now joins a list of injured players under manager Ange Postecoglou, including Micky van de Ven, Cristian Romero, Mikey Moore, Wilson Odobert, and Richarlison. Additionally, Rodrigo Bentancur is currently suspended. It's a tough situation for the team, especially with so many important matches coming up in the next month. They will be competing in the Premier League, Europa League, and Carabao Cup.
Their next game is against Rome on Thursday night, followed by a home game against Fulham in the Premier League on Sunday. Of the injured players, Romero is the closest to returning and may be available for the match against Fulham. Fans will have to wait and see how long Vicario and the other injured players will be out, but one thing is for sure – the team is behind their teammate and wishing him a speedy recovery.
