Tottenham Hotspur boss Ange Postecoglou has given the latest update on two injury worries ahead of the Europa League final against Manchester United.

The two teams meet in Bilbao, Spain, on Wednesday night. The prize for the winners will be European silverware as well as a place in next season’s Champions League, despite a poor domestic season for both sides.

‌

Both United and Spurs were in action in the Premier League on Friday night. While United fell to a 1-0 away loss against Chelsea, Spurs were beaten 2-0 by Aston Villa at Villa Park.

‌

That game also saw Tottenham handed two potential injury worries ahead of the final against United. Midfielder Pape Matar Sarr was taken off in the second half, the midfielder was replaced by Yves Bissouma and went straight down the tunnel with a member of the Spurs medical team.

Youngster Mikey Moore was also replaced in the closing minutes of the game, after going down and appearing to be in pain. Following the match, Postecoglou gave the latest on both players.

“Pape felt something in his back so we took him off as a bit of a precaution,” the Spurs boss said in his post-match press conference, via football.london .

“I don’t think it’s anything too significant speaking to him afterwards but he just felt something in his back and I think Mikey (Moore) was okay. It was fatigue as much as anything else. He hasn’t played that sort of amount of minutes before.”

If Sarr is unavailable then he will join Radu Dragusin, Dejan Kulusevski, Dane Scarlett, James Maddison, Timo Werner and Lucas Bergvall on the sidelines for the final.

Moore has played 19 times in all competitions for Spurs so far this season, but has mainly been used as a second half substitute. Sarr has however been a more regular fixture in the Spurs team, having made 53 appearances in all competitions so far this season.
