Tottenham Hotspur keeper Guglielmo Vicario has been a key figure at N17

This season, Tottenham Hotspur has had to contend with a number of injuries. Long-term injuries have been sustained this season by first-team players such Micky Van de Ven, Cristian Romero, and Guglielmo Vicario. This is among the factors contributing to the Lilywhites’ position in the Premier League’s bottom half, just above the relegation zone.

For the majority of the season, Ange Postecoglou has had to use his backup players and rely on them to produce success. The season has been flat, and the absence of a squad department has not gone over well with the supporters. Spurs have been forced to rely on their youth to save them, and this season, Ange has made a number of academy players debuts in the first squad.

However, the results have been affected far more than anticipated by the injury to first-choice goalie Guglielmo Vicario. Since joining the team in 2023, the Italy international has shown great promise and quickly established himself as the team’s custodian. But Spurs were leaking goals at the back, and his absence this season was very apparent.

The Premier League team Tottenham Hotspur was having a remarkable away victory against Manchester City, 0–4. After a historic victory over the defending champions, the North London club was ecstatic and their supporters were ecstatic. But for Ange Postecoglou, there was awful news in store. Vicario, his goalie, played more than sixty minutes despite suffering a fractured ankle during the match.

Speaking to Tottenham Hotspur’s official website, Guglielmo Vicario said,

“It was another challenge of life, of course also in my football career, but more about life. I was not used to this kind of thing, from a settled routine – with training, gym, recovery and playing games when you’re happy – to then when I couldn’t walk and do normal things. It was very challenging.”

The Italy international added,

“It was my first big injury in my career. At the beginning you don’t know how to deal with it, the emotions, if you’re feeling down, you’re not used to it. I wasn’t used to being injured so it was a big one. The medical staff did an unbelievable job to help me and I’m really happy to be back.”

Since transferring from Empoli to Tottenham, Guglielmo Vicario has been nothing short of spectacular. One of Ange Postecoglou’s most important players, the 28-year-old has also made a name for himself as a leader in the locker room.
