Tottenham star Guglielmo Vicario offers huge update just hours after Spurs sign new goalkeeper
Guglielmo Vicario shared a short clip of his recovery – just hours after Tottenham unveiled the signing of goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky. The Spurs goalkeeper has been out injured since fracturing his right ankle in the 4-0 win against Manchester City on November 23. Vicario suffered a fractured right ankle during Spurs’ win at the Etihad StadiumAFP A collision with Citizens winger Savinho led to the Italian international undergoing surgery. The north Londoners are hopeful that the 28-year-old could be back available towards the end of February. In the eight Premier League matches Vicario has missed, Spurs have lost on five occasions – conceding 17 goals – resulting in them slipping down into 12th spot. Deputising in his absence has been back-up keeper Fraser Forster. However, the veteran goalkeeper was struck down by illness on Saturday, which led to Brandon Austin making his senior debut for Spurs in a 2-1 defeat to Newcastle – nine years after he joined the club. Their crisis has led to the signing of Kinsky, whose move from Slavia Prague in a £12.5million deal was officially confirmed on Sunday morning. Czech Kinsky arrives at Spurs with a reputation for being one of Europe’s most talented goalkeepers. And he could potentially make his debut in the club’s Carabao Cup semi-final first leg against Liverpool on Wednesday night. While Tottenham fans have been left buzzing by the transfer, Vicario has seemingly reminded the supporters not to forget about him – offering a huge update on his recovery just hours after the move was confirmed. Taking to his Instagram story, the ex-Empoli star has shared footage of him walking without the use of crutches for the first time since his operation.
