Manchester United are preparing to face Spurs on Wednesday in the Europa League final.

Manchester United and Tottenham will meet in Bilbao on Wednesday as the two teams battle it out for Europa League glory.

While a piece of European silverware will always be a prize worth fighting for, it's qualification for next season's Champions League and the riches that brings that both teams will be desperately hoping to win.

Both sides have endured torrid domestic campaigns, with United sitting in 16th place in the Premier League and Spurs a point and a place below them.

Wednesday's final offers both teams the chance to end a dreadful campaign on a positive note. Ahead of that huge clash, here's the latest from the Spurs camp as United aim to get the better of a side that has already beaten them three times this season.

Spurs injury latest

Player: Dejan Kulusevski

Injury: knee

Kulusevski was forced off just 19 minutes into the defeat to Palace after going down with a knee problem. Speaking to the media at Spurs' pre-final media day on Monday, boss Postecoglou described the Swede's issue as a "knock".

"[He's a] bit sore with his knee," he said. "Looks like a knock at this stage. We're going to let it settle for 24 hours but the positive thing is it looks like a knock."

However, Spurs have since released a statement confirming Kulusevski has undergone surgery and is out of the final.

Possible return date: pre-season.
