Tottenham’s Guglielmo Vicario Set for Hernia Surgery; Antonin Kinsky Ready to Fill In
Tottenham have announced that goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario will undergo hernia surgery after Sunday’s match with Nottingham Forest. The club says the procedure is minor and scheduled to limit disruption to the season.
Surgery details and expected recovery
Spurs confirmed on Friday that the operation is timed to have minimal impact. The club hopes Vicario could return within about a month.
Sky Sports News reports Vicario remains available for Sunday’s relegation six-pointer against Forest. The 29-year-old has reportedly been managing the issue for several weeks while playing through pain.
Availability for upcoming fixtures
Vicario faces a race to be fit for the next Spurs match after Forest. That fixture is away to Sunderland on April 12 at the Stadium of Light, live on Sky Sports.
If he cannot recover in time, Tottenham’s Guglielmo Vicario absence would open a place for a backup keeper. The club will monitor his recovery closely.
Antonin Kinsky’s potential recall
Antonin Kinsky could be drafted into the starting XI if Vicario is unavailable. Kinsky was criticized earlier this month after being substituted after 17 minutes in a 5-2 Champions League first-leg loss at Atletico Madrid.
That exit increased scrutiny on the goalkeeper position. Still, Kinsky remains the obvious stand-in and is ready to fill in if called upon.
What to watch next
