Tottenham goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario is on the operating table.
Vicario emerged on the 24th (Korea time) in the process of Tottenham's 4-0 complete victory in Manchester City's away game. At the time of the game, Vicario seemed to have finished in good condition, but it was revealed that he played for an hour with a serious injury called an ankle fracture.
Tottenham announced Vicario's surgery in an official statement on the 25th. 'Today, Guglielmo Vicario underwent surgery for a fracture of his right ankle. Goalkeeper Vicario, 28, was injured during Saturday's win over Man City. It was decided when to return to training through diagnosis by medical staff. We all cheer for your recovery!'
Vicario also shared his feelings about the surgery through his SNS. "Football sometimes gives you the best moments and sometimes challenges you in unexpected ways. I gave everything I had for the team for 60 minutes with my ankle fractured against Manchester City." "Unfortunately, there was no other way than surgery this time. I'm disappointed that I won't be able to help the team for the time being. "I sincerely thank the medical staff and staff. The surgery ended well and I will do rehabilitation training hard from tomorrow to become stronger and healthier and go back. I promise to work hard to give everything for you again."
Vicario's absence is likely to be blocked by '36-year-old England national team' veteran goalkeeper Fraser Forster. Foster has not played in the league since the 2022-2023 season but has played in the Carabao Cup and Europa League.
