Tottenham Hotspur’s first-choice goalkeeper, Guglielmo Vicario, will be absent from the upcoming Carabao Cup quarter-final against Manchester United due to a significant ankle injury. The 28-year-old Italian sustained a fractured right ankle during Spurs’ 4-0 victory over Manchester City on November 23, 2024. Remarkably, Vicario continued to play for 60 minutes after the injury before completing the full match.

Following the match, Vicario underwent successful surgery to repair the fracture. Tottenham’s head coach, Ange Postecoglou, confirmed that the goalkeeper will be sidelined for an extended period, stating, “It’s not going to be weeks. It’ll be months.”

In Vicario’s absence, 36-year-old veteran Fraser Forster has stepped in as the starting goalkeeper. Postecoglou has expressed confidence in Forster’s abilities, emphasizing his experience and readiness to contribute during this challenging period.

The injury to Vicario is a significant setback for Tottenham, especially with crucial fixtures on the horizon, including the Carabao Cup quarter-final against Manchester United. The club will be hoping for a swift and complete recovery for their standout goalkeeper as they navigate this demanding phase of the season.
