Tottenham: Vicario out – surgery required

The Italian goalkeeper has not been selected by Gattuso for the upcoming play-offs, and the reason is physical: he is due to undergo surgery.

Guglielmo Vicario will not be available to Gennaro Gattuso for the play-offs to qualify for the upcoming 2026 World Cup in the United States, Mexico and Canada, in which the Azzurri will face Northern Ireland and then, should they win, the winner of the Bosnia v Wales tie.

The reason, however, is physical rather than technical, as the Italian Tottenham goalkeeper will be sidelined for an extended period due to an injury requiring surgery.

SEVERE PAIN AFTER THE MATCH
The Tottenham goalkeeper had been struggling with an injury for some time, which had been affecting his performance, but it worsened towards the end of the Champions League match against Atlético Madrid. The problem is a hernia that has become a real physical hindrance.

WE MUST TAKE ACTION
Vicario is due to undergo surgery in the coming days, which will keep him sidelined for a limited period; however, this should not completely jeopardise the rest of the season with Spurs.
THE PRESS RELEASE
"We can confirm that Guglielmo Vicario will undergo surgery for a hernia next week.
The minor procedure that the Italian international goalkeeper will undergo has been scheduled to have the least possible impact on our season.
Guglielmo will begin his rehabilitation programme immediately with our medical staff and we hope he will be back on the pitch within the next month."
