Guglielmo Vicario injury recovery: Tottenham fans spot positive sign
A moment captured by a fan during the Wolves match reveals Tottenham’s first-choice goalkeeper, Guglielmo Vicario, moving unaided despite his recent injury.
A crucial absence for Tottenham
For well over one month, Tottenham Hotspur have been navigating a challenging period without their first-choice goalkeeper, Guglielmo Vicario.
His absence began in late November, during a monumental 4-0 victory over Premier League champions Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium—a match that saw the Italian deliver one of his finest displays.
The injury, sustained during that heroic effort, has sidelined Vicario for 35 days, leading to his absence from a total of 10 matches across domestic and European competitions.
His commanding presence and remarkable reflexes, which had quickly endeared him to the Spurs faithful, have been sorely missed as Tottenham’s defensive stability has faltered in his absence.
The reliance on understudy Fraser Forster has led to mixed results, and fans have been counting down the days until their beloved goalkeeper is fit to return to action.
Guglielmo Vicario takes steps toward injury comeback
During a recent 2-2 draw against Wolverhampton Wanderers at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, a fan in the stadium, recorded the Italian goalkeeper moving freely, seemingly unhindered by his previous injury.
The clip quickly made its way to X (formerly Twitter), where the fan captioned the video: “walking without crutches, SAVE US VICARIO.”
While there remains no official timeline for his return, seeing Vicario up and moving freely is a positive, which hints that a return is more imminent than expected.
Assessing the road ahead for Vicario
Manager Ange Postecoglou, known for his candid approach to squad updates, had recently addressed Vicario’s recovery during a press conference.
Speaking about the goalkeeper’s dedication, he remarked: “Going well. Typical Vic as he’s pushing every boundary. He’s still a fair bit away but he’ll make sure he’s back as quickly as possible. He’s still around the group and invested in what we’re doing. He’s progressing well.”
This update aligns with the visible progress observed during the Wolves match, suggesting that Vicario could potentially return sooner than initially expected.
