Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario will undergo surgery to treat a hernia problem, according to Sky Sports. The Italian international has managed the injury during recent weeks, but medical staff have now decided that an operation is necessary to resolve the issue. The club has not provided a specific timeline for his recovery, per the Evening Standard.
Antonin Kinsky is expected to take Vicario's place in the starting eleven for upcoming fixtures. The 23-year-old Czech goalkeeper recently spent time out of the side following a minor fitness concern of his own. His return provides a timely option for the north London club as they continue their domestic campaign.
Vicario joined Spurs from Empoli in 2023 and has remained a consistent presence in the defence. Managerial staff indicated that the procedure was scheduled during the current international window to minimise the number of matches the goalkeeper would miss, according to reports from The Athletic. Tottenham currently sit in fifth place in the Premier League table.
