Spurs blow as Vicario faces long spell out after surgery
The Guardian
|November 26, 2024
Guglielmo Vicario has had surgery to repair an ankle fracture sustained in Tottenham's 4-0 Premier League win at Manchester City on Saturday.
The news has rocked the club and will deprive them of one of their key players at a busy time of the season.
Spurs have not put a timeframe on the goalkeeper's absence but he stands to be a long-term casualty. Ange Postecoglou will most likely turn to the 36-year-old backup Fraser Forster, who has started three times this season - once in the Carabao Cup, twice in the Europa League. Spurs face Roma in the European competition on Thursday before nine games in December, including the Carabao Cup quarter-final at home against Manchester United.
