Tottenham's starting keeper Guglielmo Vicario will undergo hernia surgery next week, raising concerns ahead of a crucial relegation battle.
Guglielmo Vicario's time between the sticks for Tottenham Hotspur is about to hit a snag. The club's starting goalkeeper is set to undergo surgery for a hernia on Monday, right after the pivotal match against Nottingham Forest at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Reports from Gianluca DiMarzio suggest Vicario will play against Forest, but it’s clear he’s been nursing this injury for a while. The surgery means he’ll need time to recover, putting his participation in the upcoming World Cup in jeopardy. Italy manager Gennaro Gattuso hasn’t called him up, likely anticipating this setback.
For Spurs, this news isn’t just a blow; it’s a potential disaster. Vicario has been a key figure in goal, and now the pressure shifts to backup keeper Kinsky. His last performance was a nightmare, conceding four goals in just 20 minutes during the first leg of the Champions League. Spurs yanked him off after just 17 minutes, a clear sign of the team's desperation.
Behind Kinsky sits Brandon Austin, who has only one league appearance to his name. That was a loss against Newcastle back in January 2025. Spurs are facing a tough relegation battle, and neither of these options inspires confidence.
As the team gears up for the Forest match, all eyes will be on Kinsky. Can he shake off the demons of his last outing? With the stakes so high, Spurs need him to step up. The clock is ticking, and the pressure is mounting as the club prepares for a critical run-in without their first-choice keeper.
