Five Manchester United players will do all they can to be available for the Europa League final against Tottenham Hotspur on Wednesday night. Ruben Amorim's side might be 16th in the Premier League after their recent defeat to Chelsea but they could play in the Champions League next season if they win in Bilbao tomorrow.
Amorim is expected to name the same starting line up that lost 1-0 at Stamford Bridge last Friday, which would mean starts for Victor Lindelof and Mason Mount. There is still hope five injured players could be back involved in the matchday squad, though it is unlikely any of them will be thrown back into the starting line up versus Spurs.
United will train at Carrington on Tuesday morning before they fly to Bilbao later in the day, and here is the latest on the five senior players who are hopeful they could be back for the biggest match of the season.
Manchester United latest injury verdict for Europa League final
Diogo Dalot - Good chance
Dalot has not featured since the 1-0 defeat to Wolves on Easter Sunday, but he took part in the club's pre-match media day, which suggests he could yet be involved. When asked for an update on his possible squad inclusion against Tottenham Hotspur, he said: "I have to go day by day to see how I am feeling every day but so far so good." The Portuguese defender took part in an individual fitness session when the club held their open training session for the final a week ago.
Leny Yoro - Good chance
Yoro went off with an injury in the recent 2-0 home defeat to West Ham United earlier in the month. When United posted pictures of players in their Paul Smith suits for the final, they included an image of the French defender, which suggests he could be named in the travelling squad. Yoro was spotted on his way to do some individual gym work when he missed the open training session last Wednesday.
Matthijs de Ligt - Unlikely
De Ligt suffered an injury in the 4-3 away defeat to Brentford at the start of the month. He has missed the last three matches across all competitions and did not take part in their open training session a week ago. When asked on his latest update for De Ligt and Yoro, head coach Ruben Amorim said: "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."
Joshua Zirkzee - Unlikely
Zirkzee was ruled out for the remainder of the season after he suffered a hamstring injury in the 4-1 defeat to Newcastle over a month ago. It seems highly unlikely he will be available to face Tottenham in midweek but he told close friend Alphonso Davies it was 'not impossible' he would be available for the final.
Jonny Evans - Good chance
Evans took part in the club's open training session at Carrington last week but was not part of the squad that travelled to Chelsea on Friday night. He will not be rushed back to action when he is unlikely to feature in the match, though he would love to be part of the squad given he is set to leave as a free agent at the end of the season.
