Tottenham XI vs Manchester United: No Son - Starting lineup, confirmed team news, injury latest for Europa League final

Heung-min Son is only on the bench for Tottenham tonight - (ES Composite)

Ange Postecoglou has named his Tottenham XI for the Europa League final without three of his most creative midfielders in Bilbao.

Dejan Kulusevski, James Maddison (both knee) and Lucas Bergvall (ankle) all miss the meeting with Manchester United, leaving Postecoglou with a creative void at No10.

Pape Matar Sarr is fit after being forced off in Friday's 2-0 defeat to Aston Villa with discomfort in his back and lines up in a midfield three ahead of Rodrigo Bentancur and Yves Bissouma.

Postecoglou, though, used a 4-4-2 system at Villa Park, with Odobert and Mathys Tel up front, but has reverted back to a familiar 4-3-3 formation.

Richarlison gets the nod to join Dominic Solanke and Brennan Johnson in attack. This means fit-again captain Heung-min Son is named among the substitutes bench for the big game.

The rest of Postecoglou's XI is as expected.

Guglielmo Vicario, Pedro Porro, Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven and Destiny Udogie return to the side to make up a back five, with Bentancur and Bissouma ahead of them.

Confirmed team news

Tottenham XI: Vicario, Porro, Romero (c), van de Ven, Udogie, Bentancur, Bissouma, Sarr, Johnson, Solanke, Richarlison.

Subs: Austin, Whiteman, Spence, Davies, Danso, Gray, Ajayi, Moore, Odobert, Tel, Son, Scarlett.
