- Tottenham goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario is set to undergo surgery for a hernia next week, following the team's crucial match against Nottingham Forest.
- The surgery has been timed to minimise its impact on Tottenham's season, with the club hoping Vicario will return to action within a month.
- This situation could force the recall of Antonin Kinsky, who previously had a disastrous 17-minute performance against Atletico Madrid, making two errors in a 5-2 defeat.
- Kinsky, a 22-year-old Czech player, was replaced during that Champions League match and now faces a potential enforced return to the starting lineup.
- Vicario had returned to play in the 1-1 draw against Liverpool and the 3-2 win over Atletico in the return leg before his upcoming surgery.
