Vicario provides injury update with Instagram post | OneFootball

Italy international Guglielmo Vicario has revealed that he has returned to training at Tottenham and is ‘looking forward’ to playing a competitive game.

Vicario sustained an ankle injury during a 4-0 win over Manchester City in November and was forced to undergo surgery.

He has now returned to training on the pitch, but it will still take a few weeks to see him back to action in a competitive game for Spurs.

“Being on the sideline and not being able to help my teammates has been hard,” Vicario wrote on Instagram on Saturday.

“I’m happy to be back on the training pitch and looking forward to being back with the boys. Thank you for all the support.”

The Italian goalkeeper shared a few pictures from the Tottenham training centre showing him work on his recovery.

Tottenham coach Ange Postecoglou said in November that Vicario would remain out of action “for months” rather than weeks.

A former Empoli and Cagliari goalkeeper, Vicario has kept four clean sheets in 15 appearances across all competitions this term.

He made his senior Italy debut last year, and he’s currently the Azzurri’s second-choice keeper behind Gigio Donnarumma.

Vicario has collected four international appearances.
