Shock for Tottenham as Guglielmo Vicario has surgery on fractured ankle
Keeper played hour of win at Man City with injurySpurs facing tough December without key players
Guglielmo Vicario has had surgery to repair an ankle fracture that he sustained during Tottenham’s 4-0 Premier League win at Manchester City on Saturday. The news has rocked the club so soon after such a morale-boosting result and it will deprive them of one of their key players and leaders 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. The manager, Ange Postecoglou, will most likely turn to the 36-year-old backup Fraser Forster, who has started three times so far this season – once in the Carabao Cup, twice in the Europa League.
