In round 12 of the Premier League, goalkeeper Vicario played brilliantly in goal when blocking 5 shots on target from Man City. However, few people know that he had to play 60 minutes with a broken ankle.
Tottenham later confirmed that the number 1 goalkeeper had just undergone surgery after suffering an ankle injury in the first half at the Etihad.
According to information from Mail Sport, the fracture came from a collision with winger Savinho. Most likely, the Italian goalkeeper will be out of action for a long time.
This is truly a nightmare for coach Postecoglou as Vicario is an important player in Tottenham's squad. Since joining the team in the summer of 2023 from Empoli, the 28-year-old goalkeeper has played all 38 matches last season and 12 matches in the new season.
With Vicario absent for a long time, reserve goalkeeper Fraser Forster is almost certain to be in goal. He has made 14 Premier League appearances in the 2022-23 season and has only played one game this season.
Many Tottenham fans are concerned about Forster's ability to play with his feet and launch attacks, something goalkeeper Vicario has been doing very well since joining the " London Roosters".
On his personal Instagram, Vicario shared: "Sometimes football brings you joy, but there are also unexpected challenges. I played 60 minutes at the Etihad with a broken ankle, giving my all for the team. Unfortunately, I could not avoid this surgery. I feel sorry for not being able to help the team for a long time".
After an impressive 4-0 victory over Man City, Tottenham will host Roma in the UEFA Europa League on November 29.
