Tottenham goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario is recovering from an ankle injury but is also working on his mindset, getting inspiration from legendary Gianluigi Buffon.

Italy international Vicario underwent ankle surgery this week after sustaining an injury in a Premier League fixture against Manchester City.

Spurs coach Ange Postecoglou said the ex-Empoli star would remain out of action “for months.”

Vicario has returned to Italy for the first part of his recovery program and shared the cover of Gigi Buffon’s autobiography, recently released in Italy, in one of his latest Instagram stories.

“I don’t think I could ask for a more fitting book,” wrote the Italian keeper.

Vicario and Buffon have crossed paths with Italy’s national team, as the former keeper has been the Azzurri’s Delegation Chief since September 2023.

Buffon, a 2006 Italy World Cup winner, is the player with the most Serie A appearances: 657 with Juventus and Parma.
