Guglielmo Vicario has now revealed that he had a setback during his recovery from his most recent Tottenham injury, which meant that he had to go under the knife for the second time.It is not a coincidence that Tottenham have conceded just one goal in their last two Premier League games since Guglielmo Vicario’s return and have looked much more assured at the back.Not only is the Italian an outstanding shot-stopper, but he has emerged as one of the leaders for this young Spurs side, constantly shouting instructions at his backline and organising them.Vicario has now confessed that his recovery from his ankle injury was not straightforward as he suffered an unanticipated setback on his road to recovery.(Credit @thefrederikkejensen / Instagram)Guglielmo Vicario opens up second surgery at TottenhamThe goalkeeper fractured his ankle in Tottenham’s 4-0 win over Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium in November and Vicario underwent surgery immediately to address the issue.The injury kept him out of action for over three months before he made his comeback against Manchester United earlier this month.Tottenham have now released a documentary on the former Empoli man’s road to recovery titled ‘The Comeback: Vicario’, where the goalkeeper explains that his recovery was not linear and had to undergo a second surgery in December.Speaking in late December, the Tottenham number one says in the documentary: “Something has happened, it does not look right today. I need to speak to the doctor and see.“So, this one has been a tricky one. There was a stitch on the ankle, a dissolvable one that my body didn’t dissolve. I went to the hospital and we had this small surgery in the theatre again, the second time in the last seven weeks.“It has been a very tough, tough day because suddenly from being the best day in the last two months, it has become the worst day. So, it’s all part of the process. Sometimes you can have small setbacks that didn’t depend on you, but it is what it is. So just looking forward, confident to be back in training.”This might cause some concerns among the Spurs fan baseGiven the way the Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven injuries have been handled this season, there is a perception among some Spurs fans that the club’s medical department has made some poor judgment calls this season.This news about Vicario’s setback, which required him to go under the knife for the second time, will do little to dispel those notions.However, all things considered, the goalkeeper’s return to action from his injury has been more or less on schedule, which suggests that his rehabilitation has been handled effectively.The post Tottenham star reveals he had a secret second surgery to fix injury issues appeared first on Spurs Web.
