Tottenham's Guglielmo Vicario Joins Italy Squad Despite Hernia Surgery
Tottenham Hotspur's goalkeeper, Guglielmo Vicario, has reunited with the Italian national team's camp just days after undergoing hernia surgery. His presence comes ahead of the Azzurri's pivotal World Cup playoff clash against Northern Ireland.
Sources indicate that the shot-stopper arrived in Bergamo recently and is expected to stay with the squad until Tuesday, when the crucial playoff final is scheduled to take place.
While Vicario will not be actively playing, his decision to join the team is a significant gesture of support. This act underscores the strong camaraderie and cohesive spirit fostered within the group by coach Rino Gattuso.
Fortunately, the injury is not anticipated to sideline him for an extended period. Should Italy successfully qualify for the World Cup, Vicario is projected to serve as the primary backup to Gianluigi Donnarumma.
Beyond his national team duties, the Tottenham player continues to be linked with a potential return to Inter Milan, who reportedly maintain a keen interest in acquiring his services.
