Can Tottenham's loan players play in Europa League final vs Man Utd explained

The season is coming to a close for Tottenham's loan players and some are trying to write their name in their various clubs' history books with big ends to the season.

Spurs have got players out across England, Scotland and the continent with some of them trying to gain promotion, others having done that and won the title, one with a cup final to come and a few who managed to help their teams escape relegation from their respective divisions.

Tottenham have had 13 players out on loan, or 14 if you want to count Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg who is to join Marseille permanently. There is also teenager Luka Vuskovic, who will join Tottenham this summer after his loan at Westerlo in Belgium from Hajduk Split, alongside Spurs midfielder Alfie Devine, so we've been including him in our loan round-ups throughout this campaign.

season at Girona was prematurely cut short following knee surgery last month while made history with the wonderful goal that sealed the Championship title for Leeds United. helped Stoke avoid relegation with a final day clean sheet against Derby earlier this month.

's time at QPR came to an end with 14 appearances in the Championship and saw out his mixed spell with managerless West Brom. Matthew Craig's injury-hit spell at Mansfield ended this month as they escaped relegation as did Luca Gunter, who finished out his time at Wealdstone on the bench but did get to see them stave off the drop from the National League.

Some supporters have asked whether Ange Postecoglou could use some of the club's players out on loan in the Europa League final or last two Premier League games when their seasons are over with their current club. Unfortunately that is not the case as loan contracts are window to window affairs rather than until the end of the season, so loan contracts signed last summer or in January will last until June 30.

football.london has taken a look at how those Tottenham loan players still with fixtures to play got on this week.

Jamie Donley and Josh Keeley (Leyton Orient)

and have it all to play for in the League One play-off semi-finals after a 2-2 draw between Leyton Orient and Stockport in the first leg at Brisbane Road.

It was a game of drama as Orient scored an opener through Charlie Kelman when he appeared to be well offside and the same player then slotted home an 88th penalty to cancel out Stockport's goals from Oliver Norwood and Fraser Horsfall.

Donley played the full 90 minutes and worked hard defensively with three ball recoveries, four clearances, three headed clearances and one interception. He also won half of his 14 duels on the ground and in the air, while sending two shots at goal.

Keeley made three saves on the day and had an 80% pass accuracy with his kicks while having to act as a sweeper twice during the game.

Both players will need to be on top form if Orient are going to get through the second leg away from home on Wednesday night to take their place in the final.

Alfie Devine and Luka Vuskovic (Westerlo)

grabbed an assist in his first start for almost a month since being ill but the attacking midfielder could not stop Westerlo from going down 4-3 at Charleroi in the Jupiler Pro League play-offs for a Conference League spot.

also played the full 90 minutes but was in the centre of a defence that could just not keep out the hosts after Westerlo had put themselves into a great 3-1 lead 10 minutes into the second half only to collapse in the final 33 minutes of the encounter.

The two players face two more matches in the play-offs, starting with a trip to Oud-Heverlee Leuven on Friday night.

George Abbott (Notts County)

George Abbott played the full 90 minutes as Notts County lost 1-0 at home to AFC Wimbledon in the first leg of their League Two play-off semi-final.

It was an all-action performance from the 19-year-old with two shots at goal, five ball recoveries, two interceptions and one clearance. The teenager also won both of his two aerial duels and half of his 12 ground ones.

Abbott, who won the EFL Goal of the Season award this month will be looking to pull off a big result at Wimbledon on Saturday. He has now made 43 appearances for County, with 13 goal involvements.

Alfie Dorrington (Aberdeen)

missed Aberdeen's 4-0 defeat at Rangers with illness on Sunday and the centre-back will be hoping to be back to full fitness in good time for the Scottish Cup final on May 24 against Celtic.

The dress rehearsal for that game comes on Wednesday night when the Dons host Brendan Rodgers' side before a game at Dundee United on Saturday and then a clear week until the final.

The 20-year-old has now made 14 appearances for Aberdeen, getting 975 minutes of senior football under his belt north of the border.

Alejo Veliz (Espanyol)

got 45 minutes to his name on Sunday as Espanyol lost 3-2 at struggling Leganes. He was brought on at half-time with the visitors 2-0 down at the break and while Espanyol technically won the second half it was not enough to emerge victorious on the day.

The 21-year-old striker has made 27 appearances for the La Liga side this season and scored four times, including a hat-trick in the Copa del Rey earlier in the season.
