Tottenham goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario has undergone surgery after suffering a fractured ankle during the 4-0 victory at Manchester City on Saturday, the club has announced.
Vicario completed the full 90 minutes of the game at the Etihad, but the club have revealed he suffered the injury during the match.
The 28-year-old underwent treatment late in the first half and re-emerged limping after half-time, although he went on to make three second-half saves.
In a statement posted on X on Monday evening, Spurs wrote: “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 joined Spurs from Empoli last summer
Vicario is yet to miss a single minute of Premier League football since joining from Empoli last summer, playing all of their 38 games last season and each of the 12 league matches so far in 2024/25.
Fraser Forster, who made 14 Premier League appearances for the club in his debut season in 2022/23, will be most likely to stand in for Vicario in his absence, having been on the bench for 11 of their 12 league matches so far this term.
