Sevilla winger Yevhen Konoplyanka has been passed fit for the Europa League final against Liverpool.

The Ukraine international had been a doubt after limping out of training on Thursday complaining of discomfort in his thigh.

But Konoplyanka, who came close to joining the Reds in January 2014, was given the green light to line up for Sevilla in their final La Liga game of the season against Athletic Bilbao on Saturday evening.

Boss Unai Emery rested most of his key players ahead of the final and his much changed line up were beaten 3-1.

A first-half double by Aritz Aduriz gave the Basque outfit a commanding lead.

Youngster Juan Munoz reduced the deficit early in the second half but Sevilla then had Timothée Kolodziejczak sent off.

Raul García's goal wrapped up the points as Sevilla finished the campaign in seventh place and without a single away league victory.

Of those involved against Bilbao, only Adil Rami, Vicente Iborra, Kolodziejczak and Konoplyanka are likely to feature against Liverpool.

It's a massive week for Sevilla. Wednesday's Europa League final with the Reds is followed by the Copa del Rey final against Barcelona next Sunday.

“It's been a tough road to the finals and it's taken injuries and great effort,” Emery said.

“Now our enthusiasm and our motivation is in this beautiful week. Rarely in the future will we happen to play two finals of this kind.

“The team is very excited, motivated and with a tremendous mindset.”
