Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Gugliemo Vicario has undergone surgery after sustaining a fracture to his right ankle.
Spurs confirmed in a statement on Monday that Vicario suffered the injury during Saturday’s 4-0 win at Manchester City.
“Guglielmo will be assessed by our medical staff to determine when he can return to training,” the statement added.
Vicario, 28, was limping when walking through the mixed zone at the Etihad Stadium following Saturday’s game, but did play the full 90 minutes in the victory. He received treatment on the pitch in the first half of the match following a collision with City winger Savinho, after which the Italian appeared to hold his right ankle.
Vicario has been a Premier League ever-present for Tottenham since joining from Empoli for a fee of around €20million (£17.2m, $21.9m) last summer, featuring in all 38 matches last season and their 12 so far this term.

He also played in Spurs’ first two Europa League league phase matches this season, with Fraser Forster coming in for the other two. Vicario also started in his side’s Carabao Cup third-round win over Manchester City last month, with Forster having played in the second-win victory against Coventry City.
