Tottenham vs Brighton: Key Player Battles and Tactical Twists Set to Decide a Season-Defining Clash

Team news for Tottenham v Brighton

The only downside to Tottenham’s European glory was the sight of Richarlison limping off in the second half.

While his injury didn’t stop him from celebrating post-match, he’s expected to miss Sunday’s finale, joining Dejan Kulusevski, Radu Dragusin, Dane Scarlett, James Maddison, Timo Werner and Lucas Bergvall on the sidelines.

Postecoglou is likely to rotate heavily after the final, with Postecoglou also confirming both Cristian Romero and Heung-Min Son will both be rested, as well as Yves Bissouma after picking up a knock.

Brighton’s preparations have been overshadowed by Joao Pedro’s absence following a training-ground incident with Jan Paul van Hecke.

The Seagulls will also be missing Georginio Rutter (foot), James Milner (thigh), Ferdi Kadioglu (toe), Solly March (knee), while Tariq Lamptey (knee) and Jason Steele (finger) are doubtful.
