Set to undergo surgery
Vicario will undergo surgery during the international break due to a hernia and will be out for multiple weeks following the procedure, the club announced Friday.
Analysis: Vicario will be available to face Nottingham Forest on Sunday and will undergo the surgery later, as the procedure has been aligned with the Spurs' three-week break in their schedule. Their next match after the Forest contest is scheduled for April 12, and the Spurs are hoping to have Vicario back in the mix at some point in April. If Vicario is forced to miss time, look for Antonin Kinsky to start in his place, with Brandon Austin being the backup.
Concedes twice Wednesday
Vicario made five saves and allowed two goals in Wednesday's 3-2 win versus Atletico Madrid. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 58th minute.
Analysis: While Spurs' attack did just enough to have a chance at a massive second-leg comeback, Vicario and the defense did not. He faced seven shots on target and made five saves for the third time in the Champions League this season, but the two goals he conceded made the comeback basically impossible. Spurs actually outscored Atletico 5-4 while Vicario was in between the sticks, but the early 3-0 hole they fell into in the first leg with backup keeper Antonin Kinsky was too much to overcome. Vicario made 10 appearances (nine starts) in the UCL this season and kept six clean sheets, conceded 11 goals and made 30 saves. He will now focus on the relegation battle for the remainder of the season.
