Tottenham has received a great injury boost while they are preparing for the Europa League final this month -with one player who returns this weekend.
Spurs recorded their place in Bilbao on 21 May and will take on Manchester United after beating Bodo/Glimt 5-1 aggregated in the semi-final of the competition.
Ange Postecoglou is forced to tackle various injury headache during the course of the season and his party was put back in the Premier League in the 16th.
However, they could end the campaign at a peak by winning a first trophy since 2008.
The last regular that is excluded is James Maddison and the playmaker will miss the rest of the campaign after a knee injury in the first stage against Bodo/Glimt.
But Postecoglou has received some late good news with Captain Son Heung-Min expects to return to the fold against Crystal Palace on Sunday.
Son has missed the last seven games with a foot problem, but his availability is on time.
“Everyone came through the other night,” Postecoglou said in his press conference.
'Half -Hopful that we will get Sonny for a few minutes tomorrow, so he will be the only one who can come back some of them. I think what we know on Thursday evening, playing on an artificial field takes a lot from the players – it's fair to say that they were painful.
'I remember that when we played Tamworth, we actually had a few injuries in the game, I think, I think, because of the surface.
'We have to be careful with Sunday's game, but next Friday it will be a bit different.
'I think we just have to make decisions we think [are right].
“Ultimately, we want to be in good condition, so we will use that.”
Postecoglou admitted that he found it difficult to manage the fitness of his players after the large number of absent made his team worn out.
'We have tried to navigate that in recent months, especially with Micky [van de Ven]” [Cristian] Romero and Destiny [Udogie] To have missed a huge part of the season, “he said. 'If these guys come back, you really have to manage them.
'Romero and Micky had a few setbacks after they returned, so we have to change our path and processes and part of it is only managing their minutes.
“They have to get some playing time for the final, although it is unlikely that it is tomorrow.”
