- Sky Sports reports Vicario remains available for selection against Nottingham Forest on Sunday before beginning rehabilitation during the international break.
- Antonin Kinsky is expected to start in Vicario’s absence despite his early substitution in the Atletico Madrid first leg, with Brandon Austin also an option.
- Spurs’ statement clarifies Vicario’s omission from Italy’s World Cup play-off squad was due to the planned surgery rather than form.
- Inter sporting director Piero Ausilio has held talks in London, with multiple outlets reporting Vicario’s openness to a summer move and indicative fees in the €15m–€30m range, though no agreement has been reached.
