Tottenham goalkeeper Vicario has ankle surgery

Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario is set for a spell on the sidelines after having surgery on a fractured ankle.

The 28-year-old sustained the injury during Saturday's 4-0 Premier League win at Manchester City, though he played the whole match.

The Italy keeper, who needed treatment in the first half following a collision with City winger Savinho, says he played on with the injury for an hour.

"Sometimes football gives you its highs, and sometimes it challenges you in ways you don't expect," Vicario wrote on social media.

"I played 60 minutes at the Etihad with a broken bone in my ankle, giving absolutely everything I had for the team.
