The reason for Guglielmo Vicario’s omission from Tottenham’s pre-season tour of Australia and New Zealand continues to be the subject of much debate.Vicario is one of several senior players expected to leave Spurs before the new campaign gets underway, with Antonin Kinsky expected to continue as Tottenham’s number one, and Martin Dubravka arriving as his backup.The Tottenham squad departed for their pre-season tour Down Under on Wednesday, and the experienced goalkeeper was not part of the group that boarded the plane.Spurs suggested that it was because Vicario had sustained a ‘minor knock’ and had stayed back at Hotspur Way to undergo treatment, but this has been questioned by others.Credit: @thefrederikkejensen / InstagramTom Allnutt dismisses Fabrizio Romano’s claim about Tottenham’s Guglielmo VicarioFabrizio Romano claimed yesterday that the 29-year-old was left out of Spurs’ pre-season tour as he is trying to seal a move away rather than due to injury.However, The Times reporter Tom Allnutt has now asserted that Vicario did indeed suffer an injury while doing gym work this week and that his future has nothing to do with the goalkeeper not flying to New Zealand and Australia.Alnutt wrote on X: “Vicario sprained his ankle last Thursday in the gym so it was decided with Tottenham & De Zerbi that he wouldn’t travel on the tour. Future uncertain but separate issue. Recovery going well, Vicario could be back with the group post-tour.”Vicario sprained his ankle last Thursday in the gym so it was decided with Tottenham & De Zerbi that he wouldn't travel on the tour.
