Mathys Tel sends Tottenham team news hint for Man Utd Europa League final

Tottenham play their biggest game of the last six years this evening when they face Manchester United in the Europa League final.

Ange Postecoglou has been handed three injury blows in the lead up to the showpiece clash which has left him with several big decisions to make.

With Yves Bissouma filling in excellently for Bergvall and Kulusevski initially as Maddison's replacement, Postecoglou just needs to decide who fills that creative void.

Pape Matar Sarr is perhaps the most natural replacement but that would leave Spurs lacking a real driving threat from midfield. Wilson Odobert was trialled in the role against Aston Villa last Friday night but mostly struggled to impact proceedings.

There are also decisions to be made in the wide areas with five players fighting for the two spots either side of Dominic Solanke.

Brennan Johnson and Richarlison started the two semi-final games but Odobert, Mathys Tel and club captain Son Heung-min, now back from injury, are other options.

The latter, despite his inconsistent form, appears destined to start as he is one of the only players that can pull of a piece of magic from nothing.

The two French attackers started at Villa Park and while they mostly found it difficult to make a difference going forward, impacting the action up against tired legs is the best way to use their traits. However, Tel has hinted he will be getting a little bit more than that.

On , the Bayern Munich loannee has uploaded a pre-match graphic which certainly suggests he will have a prominent involvement in proceedings.

A spot in the squad is guaranteed and even if he is on the bench, an early introduction is plausible given recent decisions made by Postecoglou.

The back five, meanwhile, picks itself with Guglielmo Vicario, Pedro Porro, Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven and Destiny Udogie, barring any late shocks, guaranteed to start after all being rested against Aston Villa.

Bissouma and Rodrigo Bentancur, given the options available, are expected to be deployed in front of them and the midfield duo will be needed to stop Bruno Fernandes from controlling the game.
