Tottenham Hotspur Goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario Misses New Zealand and Australia Tour Due to Training Injury
Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario was left out of the club’s 35-man pre-season tour squad bound for New Zealand and Australia. Vicario sustained a minor knock during training and will undergo treatment at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium training centre.
The Italian goalie has been part of Tottenham’s squad, but with summer signings Martin Dubravka, Brandon Austin, and Antonin Kinsky available as goalkeeping options for coach Roberto De Zerbi on tour, Vicario’s absence is significant. Vicario's injury coincides with other absences like Mohamed Kudus, Xavi Simons, Dejan Kulusevski, and Wilson Odobert who stayed behind to continue rehabilitation from pre-season knocks.
Vicario joins others such as Rodrigo Bentancur, Pape Matar Sarr, Pedro Porro, Marcos Senesi, Cristian Romero, and Djed Spence in taking an extended break following their participation at the World Cup. The Tottenham Hotspur team has a busy schedule ahead, including matches against Auckland FC, Sydney FC, Chelsea, Getafe, TSG Hoffenheim, and Brentford to start the 2026-27 Premier League season.
Who's in Vicario's shoes during the tour?
Martin Dubravka is set to be the preferred choice at goal for Tottenham Hotspur on their tour, with Brandon Austin and Antonin Kinsky also part of the squad for this pre-season trip.
