Man Utd land triple injury boost for Tottenham Europa League final but key player misses out

Ruben Amorim has welcomed three key Manchester United players back to full team training with their Europa League final against Tottenham just over 24 hours away.

The two Premier League teams, despite enduring horrendous domestic campaigns, will compete for a European trophy at San Mames stadium in Bilbao on Wednesday evening. Preparations for the showpiece encounter were different for both but also oddly similar.

Following a decision by the Premier League, Spurs and United both played away from home on Friday and lost to Aston Villa and Chelsea, respectively. The difference came in the team selected with Amorim going full strength while Ange Postecoglou rotated significantly.

"I don’t think it’s anything too significant speaking to him afterwards but he just felt something in his back."

United are yet to fly over with their preparation plans slightly different and that has seen their open training session take place at Carrington on Tuesday. While injury news has been far from positive for Spurs, United look to have been handed three boosts.

. The latter had been ruled out for the season with a hamstring injury picked up in the 4-1 defeat to Newcastle United but it seems as though he has made a miraculous recovery.

The one negative was that Matthijs de Ligt was still missing with the problem suffered against Brentford earlier this month clearly still impacting him. Lisandro Martinez will also not feature in the final with the Argentine out for an extended period due to a serious knee injury.

Given the time missed by those three returning stars, it is most likely they are only on the bench if deemed fit enough to feature, especially as United's woes have been eased by Ayden Heaven and Amad returning recently.
