Premier League 2024-25: Postecoglou backs Forster to step up after Vicario undergoes ankle surgery

The Hindu  

Tottenham Hotspur boss Ange Postecoglou praised Guglielmo Vicario for playing with a broken ankle in their 4-0 win over Manchester City before he underwent surgery but said on Wednesday that he had full faith in Fraser Forster stepping up. With surgery, there are certain timelines,” Postecoglou told reporters ahead of Thursday’s Europa League game against AS Roma. The fact he played at that level for 60 odd minutes with a fractured ankle was quite outstanding.” Forster, 36, has been Spurs’ backup goalkeeper since 2022 and has played only three times this season -- in the Europa League and League Cup -- but Postecoglou backed him to fill in for Vicario while ruling out signing a free agent. Me naming Fraser in the Europa League squad really looks like a radical decision now, doesn’t it?” Spurs is seventh in the Europa League standings after four games, while Roma is 20th. Although Postecoglou conceded that his side have had “flat spots” in some games this season, they have also played really well, as evidenced by the win over City.
