Tottenham head into the biggest game of the season knowing the narrative of their campaign could change drastically. Spurs face Manchester United in the Europa League final on Wednesday, but could be without Pape Matar Sarr for the all-English final in Bilbao.
The midfielder was forced off early in the 2-0 loss to Aston Villa on Friday night as Tottenham’s Premier League form sunk to a new low. That said, Ange Postecoglou has issued a rather positive update.
Here is all the Spurs injury news ahead of the final.
Pape Sarr walked straight down the tunnel flanked by a member of the club medical team against Aston Villa.
However, Postecoglou says he does not think Sarr's complaint is "anything too serious".
"Pape felt something in his back, so we took him off as a bit of a precaution," Postecoglou said afterwards. "I don’t think it’s anything too significant, speaking to him afterwards but he just felt something in his back.”
Potential return date: Manchester United (n) on Wednesday, May 21, 2025
Kulusevski hobbled off after 18 minutes against Crystal Palace following a heavy challenge from Marc Guehi and headed straight down the tunnel.
He appeared for the second half, sitting on the bench with the rest of the Tottenham substitutes and Postecoglou was initially hopeful the attacking midfielder had not sustained any serious damage.
After missing training last week, Spurs confirmed the Swede would not be fit for the Europa League final after undergoing surgery.
Speaking on Thursday, Postecoglou said: "Disappointing news. Initially we thought it wasn’t too serious. The medical team were worried structurally about how the knee was but it blew up the day after and we knew there was an issue there.
Potential return date: Next season
James Maddison will miss the rest of the season with a knee injury.
Maddison was injured in the 3-1 Europa League semi-final first-leg win against Bodo/Glimt and scans have revealed he is facing an extended period on the sidelines.
The midfielder has been ruled out of the final three weeks of the season, meaning he will miss the Europa League final in Bilbao on May 21 and is a doubt for the start of pre-season, too.
Speaking about the midfielder, Ange Postecoglou said: “Madders from the first leg, so he's out. He'll miss the rest of this season and it’s disappointing for him.
Potential return date: Next season
Lucas Bergvall has been ruled out for the rest of the season after damaging ligaments in his ankle during the final training session ahead of the Europa League semi-final first leg.
It is a huge blow for the teenager, who has enjoyed an impressive debut season in England and days earlier was rewarded with a new six-year contract. Bergvall has since been spotted wearing a foot brace and on crutches.
News of the injury leaked before the player or club were able to confirm, which Ange Postecoglou believes made the blow even tougher to handle for the “devastated” youngster.
He told reporters: "It’s not helpful. Some of it is just to protect the players themselves. You can imagine, Lucas was devastated. He didn’t want to deal with it and we didn’t want to make it public, not as much about the opposition but to give him the time to process it.
Potential return date: June 2025
Radu Dragusin is not expected to return for the remainder of the season.
The centre-back suffered a serious knee injury in February and quickly underwent surgery.
A club statement at the time read: “Radu underwent surgery today following his ACL injury. That procedure has now been completed, and the centre-back will now commence with his recovery before beginning the rehab process.”
As a result, Dragusin is not expected to return for months.
Potential return date: June 2025
