Tottenham Faces Goalkeeping Crisis After Guglielmo Vicario's Long-Term Injury
The Spurs goalkeeper underwent surgery for a fractured ankle sustained during their historic 4-0 win over Manchester City, sidelining him for months.
- Guglielmo Vicario played 60 minutes with a fractured ankle during Tottenham's victory over Manchester City before undergoing surgery on Monday.
- The injury is a significant setback for Spurs, as Vicario has been integral to Ange Postecoglou's high-risk, possession-based tactical approach.
- Veteran goalkeeper Fraser Forster, 36, is set to take over as the starting goalkeeper, but concerns remain about his ability to replicate Vicario's style of play.
- Tottenham is considering accelerating plans to sign a new goalkeeper in the January transfer window, though no specific targets have been confirmed yet.
- The club faces a demanding schedule in December, including key matches in the Premier League, Europa League, and Carabao Cup, without their first-choice goalkeeper.
