Guglielmo Vicario of Tottenham recently underwent hernia surgery but has now joined the Italian national team camp as they prepare for their crucial World Cup playoff against Northern Ireland.
Gazzetta dello Sport – as reported by TMW, confirmed that the goalkeeper arrived at the Azzurri camp in Bergamo last night and plans to stay with the team until Tuesday, the date of the playoff final.

Although Vicario will not take part in the matches, his presence demonstrates solidarity and support for his teammates, reflecting the strong bond created by coach Rino Gattuso.
Fortunately, the injury is not expected to keep him sidelined for long. If Italy secures qualification for the World Cup, Vicario is likely to serve as a backup to Gianluigi Donnarumma.
Additionally, the Tottenham player has been linked with a potential move back to Inter, who are reportedly still interested in signing him.
