Tottenham Hotspur's key midfielder James Maddison has shared a post of himself in Bilbao as his team prepare to face Manchester United in the Europa League final.

Maddison has done well for Ange Postecoglou in a season that has been incredibly disappointing for the north London club. He has registered 12 goals and 11 assists in all competitions which included the winner against United in the Premier League back in February.

The former Leicester City man has flown out to the Basque Country with his teammates and shared a post from the club's official social media account of himself in Spain. "Taking it all in," was the caption from Tottenham.

However, Maddison's return from injury will not come before the Europa League final on Wednesday night. Despite being pictured with Postecoglou pitchside during their training session at the San Mames Stadium, the England international will not be in the squad.

Confirming his absence from the game 11 days ago, Maddison posted on social media: "Gutted. Just absolutely gutted.

"We’ve had our sights on that European final in Bilbao from day one of this campaign. So to accept not being able to take part out on that pitch with the boys is really tough to take.

"Injuries are just part of this game that can be so cruel at times. But I truly believe that it can be a special night for my football club.

"Bring on the 21st. All together."

Maddison is in Bilbao to provide moral support for his teammates and his injury return will not come until after the season has come to an end.
