Tottenham goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario is set for a lengthy absence after breaking his ankle during Saturday’s 4-0 win over Manchester City.
The 28-year-old Italy international suffered the injury in a first-half collision with City’s Savinho but managed to play through it until the final whistle.
Following surgery on Monday, Vicario is expected to be sidelined for several months, though Postecoglou refrained from giving a specific timeline.
Veteran Fraser Forster will now step in as the first-choice keeper in Vicario’s absence.
Postecoglou praised Vicario’s resilience, recalling that despite the injury, Vicario finished the match and continued to play through the pain.
Tottenham currently sit sixth in the Premier League and are performing well in the Europa League.
The manager believes the team continues to evolve, and despite Vicario’s setback, they will work diligently to fill the gaps left by his injury.
In the meantime, the focus is on the Europa League clash against Roma, managed by former Premier League boss Claudio Ranieri.
