Tottenham goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky in line for shock recall due to Guglielmo Vicario surgery | OneFootball

Tottenham goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky could be thrust back into action for the relegation-threatened side after Spurs confirmed Guglielmo Vicario will undergo surgery on a hernia in the next week.

Kinsky was replaced just 17 minutes into Tottenham’s defeat at Atletico Madrid in the Champions League after making two errors in a disastrous performance. The 22-year-old Czech, who was given a rare start by interim boss Igor Tudor, now appears set for a shock, enforced, recall.

Vicario returned in goal for the 1-1 draw at Liverpool and 3-2 win over Atletico in the return leg, but the Italy international is set for a period on the sidelines.

Vicario will undergo surgery following Tottenham’s crucial relegation six-pointer against Nottingham Forest on Sunday, with Spurs adding the surgery has been timed “to have as minimal impact on our season as possible”.

A Tottenham statement added: “Guglielmo will commence his rehabilitation with our medical staff immediately, and it is hoped that he could return to action within the next month.”

Tottenham’s next game following the home match against Forest is the trip to Sunderland on Sunday 12 April, followed by the home match against Brighton on Saturday 18 April.
