After a 4-0 win, the Tottenham Hotspur team suffered a setback. On Tuesday (26th), the breaking news came: star goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario unfortunately announced that he has suffered a serious ankle fracture and is expected to be out of action for "several months". The news came as a shock. It was a shock to learn that Vicario had lasted an hour in this match with this injury, which is unimaginable toughness.

An official statement from Tottenham said, "Vicario has undergone surgery on his broken right ankle and we will continue to monitor his recovery and look forward to his return to training soon." According to the Daily Mail, Vicario will have a long road to recovery, lasting "several months". As a result, Tottenham have begun preparations to find a new goalkeeper to share the burden with veteran Fischakos during the January transfer window.

Italian international Vicario's post-surgery statement was even more moving: "Football is sometimes exciting and sometimes it throws up unexpected challenges. I had to play 60 minutes in the Manchester City game with an injury, and even though I eventually had to undergo surgery, I gave my all for the team. May we meet again on the pitch!"
