The 2025 UEFA Europa League final is now just days away, with Tottenham and Manchester United now preparing to go head-to-head at San Mamés. The two English clubs will face off in Bilbao with silverware and a Champions League spot on the line.

Both sides have endured disastrous Premier League campaigns, but they can bail themselves out somewhat with a win in Northern Spain on Wednesday night. Spurs and United rested a number of players on Friday night, and as preparations for the final step up, we have rounded up all the early injury news surrounding both teams.

Leny Yoro - Doubt

Yoro is expected to have a chance of returning for the final having not been risked against Chelsea.

Mathijs De Ligt - Doubt

The same applies to De Ligt, who is said to have a chance of returning here.

Lisandro Martinez - Out

Martinez will be out until 2026 with another serious knee injury. Ruben Amorim has said: “Licha is a difficult situation. He's going to be out for a while. We don't know the extent of the injury, but it's an injury that is going to take time.”

Joshua Zirkzee - Out

Amorim has confirmed Zirkzee is out for the season, explaining: “So, he’s not going to play more this season. Let’s prepare him for the next one. It’s tough, especially in this moment. I think he’s improving in all aspects of the game, so it’s hard for any player to stop.”

Diogo Dalot - Doubt

The United website stated after the Chelsea defeat: “Diogo Dalot is also working hard to be fit enough to make the trip to the Basque Country but the good news from the capital is there do not appear to be any fresh issues.”

Ayden Heaven - Fit

Heaven came off the bench against Chelsea and is back in contention.

Toby Collyer - Fit

Collyer was among the substitutes on Friday night and has returned to fitness.

Jonny Evans - Doubt

The United website has confirmed that Evans has returned to contention.

Mikey Moore - Fit

Moore seemed to have an issue against Villa, but it was only fatigue. Postecoglousaid: “I think Mikey was okay. It was fatigue as much as anything else. He hasn’t played that sort of amount of minutes before."

Pape Matar Sarr - Doubt

Sarr came off against Villa, and Postecoglou explained afterwards: "Pape felt something in his back, so we took him off as a bit of a precaution. I don’t think it’s anything too significant speaking to him afterwards.”

Dejan Kulusevski - Out

Kulusevski is out for the season after undergoing knee surgery. A statement confirmed: “We can confirm that Dejan Kulusevski suffered an injury to his right patella in our Premier League fixture against Crystal Palace last weekend. Following further specialist consultation, the midfielder has undergone surgery today (Wednesday) and will commence his rehabilitation with our medical staff immediately.” Postecoglou added on the injury blow: "It’s obviously disappointing news. Initially we thought it wasn’t too serious because obviously the medical team were worried about how the knee was structurally, but it seemed pretty good. But then it kind of blew up a day after and so we knew there was an issue there. He’s had surgery and it will put him out at least for a few months."

Lucas Bergvall - Out

Postecoglou has previously said when asked if Bergvall will be back before the Europa League final: “Yeah, that is unlikely. If we had another two weeks, potentially he could. I am sure he will be trying, I am sure Madders will be trying, mate, just to get the strip on. Unfortunate for both of those guys, but that has been our season. Nothing has run smoothly. I am sure there will be parts of themselves disappointed they are not part of this most important part, but they have been so integral to us getting here.”

James Maddison - Out

Maddison recently suffered a knee injury that will rule him out for the rest of the season. The Spurs boss said: “Madders from the first leg, so he's out. He'll miss the rest of this season and it’s disappointing for him. I'm disappointed for him because he's been a real catalyst for us. He'll miss out but that's been the story of our season.”

Radu Dragusin - Out

Dragusin is out for the rest of the season and likely a chunk of next term with an ACL injury. Postecoglou confirmed at the time: “Radu underwent surgery today following his ACL injury. That procedure has now been completed, and the centre-back will now commence with his recovery before beginning the rehab process.”
