With Guglielmo Vicario sidelined due to injury, Spurs fans have been left wondering who will don the gloves for their Europa League clash against AS Roma, but recent training photos offer some intriguing clues.
Tottenham Hotspur find themselves at a crossroads as they prepare to host AS Roma this Thursday in a crucial Europa League fixture.
Coming off the back of a 3-2 defeat to Galatasaray on matchday four, Spurs are in need of a win to restore momentum and strengthen their bid for European success.
Yet, the task at hand is far from straightforward, as the team grapples with a significant blow to their starting line-up.
Guglielmo Vicario, who has been a stalwart presence between the posts since joining the club, is set to miss this clash following an injury to his right ankle sustained during Spurs’ emphatic 4-0 victory over Manchester City last weekend.
The injury, which occurred early in the match, has left the Italian keeper sidelined, with reports suggesting he could be out for a considerable period.
In Vicario’s absence, Ange Postecoglou will need to reshuffle his squad. Fraser Forster, the experienced backup, has already featured in this season’s Europa League campaign and is expected to lead the line.
However, with a congested fixture schedule looming, there is the possibility that Postecoglou may turn to alternative options to ensure the team remains fresh and competitive across all fronts.
Alasdair Gold, a Spurs correspondent for football.london, shared an image in a tweet on X featuring four Spurs goalkeepers in training— Fraser Forster, Brandon Austin, Alfie Whiteman, and Luca Gunter.
Forster, with his wealth of experience, remains the most likely candidate to start, having already featured twice in the Europa League this season.

Tottenham’s current situation underscores the importance of reliable depth in all positions, particularly in goal. While Forster may be the immediate choice, the involvement of Austin, Whiteman, and Gunter highlights the club’s intent to keep every player match-ready.
Looking ahead, Spurs might revisit their goalkeeping options in the January transfer window. The injury to Vicario serves as a reminder of the risks associated with relying too heavily on a single player.
In the meantime, Postecoglou’s careful management of this situation will be key. With high-stakes fixtures on the horizon, Spurs fans will be eager to see how the team’s depth stands up under pressure—and whether one of their understudy keepers can rise to the occasion if called upon.
