The Tottenham midfielder has travelled to Bilbao with the rest of the squad, sparking rumours that he could make a return from an ankle injury in time to feature on Wednesday night.

However, Postecoglou said at his pre-match press conference: "Team news is pretty much the same as last week. No, Lucas isn't available so same as we were as of last week."

On whether Pape Matar Sarr is available, after he came off in the second-half against Aston Villa on Friday night, Postecoglou added: “He’s fine.”

Bergvall has been out since last month’s 5-1 defeat to Liverpool at Anfield and his absence has been exacerbated by further injury issues in the squad.

James Maddison picked up a knee injury in the first leg of the semi-final win over Bodo/Glimt to bring a premature end to this season, while Dejan Kulusevski will also miss the final.

The Swede limped off against Crystal Palace earlier this month and although it was initially suggested that the issue was not serious, a further update revealed Kulusevski required surgery on his right patella.

Postecoglou said last week: “Obviously disappointing news. Initially we thought it wasn't too serious, the medical team were worried about structurally how the knee was. It blew up the day after, he's had surgery and it will put him out for a few months.

Asked if Kulusevski will be ready for the start of next season, the Spurs boss added: “We'll see. I only have basic information in terms of his recovery.”
