Ahead of the game against the Italian outfit, there were four Tottenham goalkeepers training at Hotspur Way in front of the media. Journalist Alasdair Gold was able to capture the four keepers heading out to training with Tottenham fans left guessing who could replace Vicario.

Tottenham Hotspur's brilliant and dominating 4–0 dismantling of Manchester City at Etihad Stadium didn't go as smoothly as many originally thought, as it was confirmed that goalkeeper, Guglielmo Vicario underwent surgery after fracturing his ankle during the victory.
