Europa League Final Blow? Tottenham Sweat Over Senegalese Pape Matar Sarr Injury

Tottenham Hotspur’s preparations for the Europa League final have hit a potential stumbling block after midfielder Pape Matar Sarr suffered a back injury during the 0-2 defeat to Aston Villa.

Early Exit Sparks Concerns

The Senegalese international was forced off in the 53rd minute, visibly uncomfortable, and was immediately escorted to the dressing room by the medical team. With just five days to go before the final against Manchester United in Bilbao, fears are growing inside Spurs’ camp.

Postecoglou Reacts

Head coach Ange Postecoglou tried to calm the tension post-match:

“He felt some discomfort in his back, it was mainly precautionary.”

However, uncertainty looms large, as Sarr has become a vital cog in Postecoglou’s midfield setup.

More Worries for Spurs

Originally viewed as an opportunity to rotate and rest players, the Villa matchback ended badly. The sole bright spot was Son Heung-min's long-awaited return to the starting lineup, but Mikey Moore also appeared worn out as he departed the field.

Tottenham now face an anxious wait, hoping Sarr recovers in time for their biggest match of the season.
