Tottenham goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario played for an hour against Manchester City with a fractured ankle, as he himself revealed in an official statement after undergoing surgery following the injury.

The day before, Tottenham announced that Vicario had undergone surgery on his right ankle, a fracture he suffered in Spurs' Premier League win against City. According to Vicario, the fracture occurred back in the first half and he had to endure it from there.

"Sometimes football gives you its highs, and sometimes it challenges you in ways you don’t expect. I played 60 minutes at the Etihad with a broken bone in my ankle, giving absolutely everything I had for the team. Unfortunately, there was no way around this one... I needed surgery," reads Vicario's statement.
