Italy international Guglielmo Vicario has been dropped from the Tottenham Hotspur starting line-up by former Juventus head coach Igor Tudor for Tuesday evening\u2019s Champions League round of 16 first leg against Atletico Madrid.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Tottenham drop Vicario for Champions League clash<\/h2>

It has been a dismal season for Vicario and his Tottenham teammates on a domestic level, as they currently find themselves in a serious relegation battle in the Premier League. They are still involved in Champions League action, however, having finished the league phase in fourth place.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Tottenham have lost all of their first three matches under the stewardship of Tudor, who took over from Thomas Frank on February 13. The ex-Juventus tactician already finds himself at risk of the sack<\/a>, despite being appointed on a short-term contract until the end of the 2025-26 season.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

In an attempt to mix things up, Tudor has decided to drop Italy goalkeeper Vicario from his starting line-up for Tuesday night\u2019s Champions League clash against Atletico Madrid, a decision which has been celebrated by vast sections of Tottenham\u2019s online supporters.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u201cFinally, Kinsky is between the sticks, I\u2019ve been rooting for him,\u201d wrote one supporter on <\/span>X<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Some <\/span>fans<\/span><\/a> say that Antonin Kinsky\u2019s call-up to the starting line-up is: \u201c100% deserved.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u201cIt\u2019s about damn time,\u201d another fan <\/span>wrote<\/span><\/a>. Another added<\/a>: \u201cVicario getting dropped is one positive I suppose.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>
