Goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario will undergo hernia surgery next week, Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur said on Friday, adding that the procedure could sideline the 29-year-old Italy international for a month.
Vicario has appeared in every league match for Spurs this season as the side sit one point above the bottom three in the points table.
“The minor procedure has been timed to have the minimum possible impact on our season,” said Spurs, who enter a three-week international break after Sunday’s league match against Nottingham Forest.
Vicario was not part of the Italian squad for Thursday’s World Cup play-off against Northern Ireland. He last played for Italy in a 2-0 win over Moldova in November.

Gianluigi Donnarumma was Italy’s goalkeeper in a 4–1 defeat to Norway three days later, sending the team into the play-offs, while Norway qualified for the World Cup.
“It is hoped that he (Vicario) can return to action within a month,” Spurs added.
