Spurs have started preparations for the Europa League final against Manchester United this week but the latest Tottenham injury news is something that will least please Ange Postecoglou who is under massive pressure to deliver a silverware.

Full list of injured Tottenham players for the Europa League final:
James Maddison – Unavailable
The playmaker has been the creative backbone for Tottenham Hotspur but he is going to miss out with a knee injury. The midfielder picked up the injury during the Europa League semi-final first leg and will only be back next season.
Dejan Kulusevski – Unavailable
Dejan Kulusevski will be another big miss as the winger has undergone surgery and he will be out of action for the next couple of months. Initially, the injury was considered a minor one but scans later suggested otherwise.

Radu Dragusin – Unavailable
The centre-back underwent surgery to repair ACL damage and will out of action for a lengthy period.
Pape Sarr – Minor Doubt
The midfielder picked up a knock during Spurs’ game against Aston Villa and immediately, he was a doubt for the Europa League final.
However, the manager has given some optimistic news stating that the injury is not serious and he should be ready to play against Manchester United.
Adding to the Tottenham injury news, the manager said, as quoted: “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 felt something in his back.”
How will the Tottenham manager cope with so many injuries?
The Tottenham injury news continues to dominate headlines because unlike Ruben Amorim who has most of his important players available, Postecoglou is missing key playmakers like Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski.
He does have players who an cover in those positions but will that be enough to beat Manchester United, we will have to wait and see.
