Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur both eased injury concerns over fresh setbacks they suffered in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon. Ruben Amorim and Ange Postecoglou both made wholesale changes to their respective sides as they looked to manage fitness levels ahead of the upcoming Europa League final.
United were beaten 2-0 by West Ham United at Old Trafford, while Spurs also fell to a 2-0 home defeat at the hands of Crystal Palace. The respective defeats added to the misery of unacceptable campaigns for either club, though they could each salvage the season with Champions League qualification.
There are expected to be further changes when United face Chelsea and Spurs take on Aston Villa in the Premier League next Friday night, before their Europa League final clash in Bilbao on Wednesday 21 May. The two sides suffered an injury setback this weekend but are hopeful they will have key players available for the final.
United and Tottenham issue injury updates
Manchester United were handed a huge injury scare when star defender Leny Yoro limped off during their 2-0 home defeat to West Ham on Sunday afternoon. The French defender looked in discomfort as he headed straight down the Old Trafford tunnel, though he was spotted walking unaided when he left the stadium at full-time.
A further update on Yoro is expected in the coming days, though after the match Ruben Amorim provided an encouraging update on the teenage centre-back. "We have to assess Leny in a better way tomorrow. He felt something, but it could be a small thing."
There was a similar injury scare for Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday afternoon as Dejan Kulusevski was forced off during their home defeat to Crystal Palace. The Swedish forward took a heavy knock after just 15 minutes and although he tried to continue in the match, he was eventually replaced by Mikey Moore.
Speaking to Sky Sports after the home defeat, Ange Postecoglou provided a brief update on the forward. "He should be OK. I'm disappointed, it's clear we're not anywhere near the level we need to be. We're making changes and the guys are getting opportunities." Kulusevski has contributed 10 goals and 11 assists in 50 appearances for Tottenham this season and could have a key role to play in their pursuit of Europa League glory.
