Manchester United are gearing up for a monumental showdown as they clash with Tottenham in Wednesday's Europa League final.
The stakes couldn't be higher, with European silverware on the line and the tantalising prospect of Champions League qualification for next term. Despite a disappointing season from both teams, victory in the final would provide a glimmer of optimism for the upcoming campaign.
With injuries plaguing both sides, the Red Devils face a race against time to get players fit for the pivotal encounter. Here's the latest team news from the treatment room at Old Trafford...
Diogo Dalot has been sidelined with a muscle injury sustained during the 1-0 loss against Wolves on Easter Sunday. Whilst head coach Ruben Amorim confirmed the Portuguese defender would miss a number of matches, he was hopeful for a return before the end of the season.
Dalot was observed undertaking solo training drills at Carrington last week, fuelling speculation about his potential involvement in the final. Addressing the press, Amorim said: "Dalot is trying really bad. I don't want to risk Dalot, when you start getting one injury, a second injury is a big thing. We cannot have these kind of problems in our squad. He's working really hard to get in the final."
Following a comeback from an earlier setback, Matthijs De Ligt had to exit the fray just 35 minutes into the 4-3 thriller against Brentford due to a knee concern.
Doubts still linger over De Ligt's availability for the Spurs clash after missing an open training session last Wednesday, with Amorim acknowledging the defender is in a tight spot to return in time.
"I don't know if they're going to be available, we'll try to push, it's a final, all the players want to play really bad," Amorim said.
Leny Yoro was forced off in the second half of the West Ham United defeat with a foot issue and was spotted limping out of Old Trafford. He missed Wednesday's open training, opting for gym work instead, but could potentially be back for the clash at San Mames..
Elsewhere in central defence, although Evans trained on Wednesday, he was absent from the squad that faced Chelsea on Friday night. His last United appearance was in December, when he scored in the 4-3 loss to Spurs.
Lisandro Martinez has been a long-term absentee since rupturing his ACL in the 2-0 Crystal Palace defeat at Old Trafford in February. Following successful surgery, he is progressing well in his recovery.
United are staying tight-lipped on the exact length of absence expected, but it's clear he won't be back on the pitch this season.
Joshua Zirkzee was sidelined due to a hamstring injury sustained in United's heavy 4-1 loss at the hands of Newcastle United last month.
Manager Amorim confirmed, "Joshua is out for the season, so he's not going to play any more this season," before adding, "Let's prepare him for the next one."
Despite this, Zirkzee has signalled his intentions to try and make a return for the season's climax. It's yet to be determined if he'll be fit for the trip to Spain, with the side set to travel on Monday afternoon.
