Tottenham coach Ange Postecoglou says Guglielmo Vicario will remain out of action \u2018for months\u2019 after sustaining an ankle injury.<\/p>\n

Vicario underwent ankle surgery earlier this week after sustaining a severe injury during an away 4-0 win at Manchester City over the weekend.<\/p>\n

The former Empoli and Cagliari keeper played 60 minutes with a broken ankle at the Etihad Stadium, so his injury surprised everyone at Tottenham.<\/p>\n

\u201cI guess, a bit of a shock first of all,\u201d Spurs boss Postecoglou said at a press conference on Wednesday (via Football London).<\/p>\n

\u201cWe saw he picked up an injury during the game. We saw at half-time but there was no doubt about him continuing. You kind of digest that. Post game he was sore but he played 60 minutes with a sore ankle. We will tape it up and go again.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut, and I guess externally now people realise, it is a testament to him as a person. He is as tough as nails, as tough as they come. The fact he played at that level for 60 minutes with a fractured ankle was quite outstanding.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen the shock off it wears off, you process he is going to be missing for a while. Knowing him, he will push the limits as to how long that is and you will get daily updates about that through his Instagram.\u201d<\/p>\n

But how long will the Italian keeper remain out of action for?<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not going to be weeks, it\u2019ll be months,\u201d admitted Postecoglou.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s had surgery and there\u2019s certain timelines. Because it is Vic, and I don\u2019t like giving timelines so early in a process like that because it puts undue pressure on the players and some expectations, but once we get past the rehab stage and he\u2019s getting out there we\u2019ll have a clearer idea.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a big blow, but for him personally I guess because he was having an outstanding season for us and really growing as a leader within the group. But we have dealt with setbacks before and we will deal with this.\u201d<\/p>\n

Playing for over an hour with a broken ankle will make him a hero in the fans\u2019 eyes.<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, I think so,\u201d said the Tottenham coach.<\/p>\n

\u201cExternally people probably now realise what we knew about him internally. It is the reason why I made him part of the leadership group this year because you just see the way he goes about his business on a daily basis. He has a really strong mentality. He wants to be better. I give the guys days off, I guarantee he will be in anyway doing something. He is just that kind of person.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was an unbelievable performance. Irrespective of the injury it was a really strong performance from him but taking that into context it is certainly one for the record books of this club in terms of outstanding performances.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vicario has conceded 15 goals in 15 appearances with Tottenham this season, keeping four clean sheets.<\/p>\n

The 28-year-old made his senior Italy debut in March 2024 and has collected four appearances with la Nazionale.<\/p>\n

His contract in North London expires in June 2028.<\/p>\n
