Overview
- Spurs announced the goalkeeper will have hernia surgery next week after the Nottingham Forest match, with rehabilitation beginning immediately and a hoped‑for return within about a month.
- Club guidance indicates Vicario remains available to face Forest, and the operation explains his omission from Italy’s World Cup play-off squad.
- Antonin Kinsky is poised to deputise following the international break, with Brandon Austin next in line if required.
- Inter sporting director Piero Ausilio has held talks in London as reports describe Vicario as a leading summer target who has given initial encouragement to a move.
- Multiple outlets report an expected fee in the €15–20m range, with suggestions it could fall if Spurs are relegated, while claims that surgery was advanced to ease a transfer remain unconfirmed.
