Attention now turns to Sunday and the Premier League fixture against Brighton, however. Postecoglou confirmed three senior players are likely to miss the match.
"There will be a couple of absences," the Australian confirmed. "Romero has been struggling with his toe for quite a while so we'll leave him out and probably Sonny because his foot has still not healed.
"They've both sort of made a massive effort to get to the final. Bissouma got a knock in the game and he's kind of 50/50 at the moment. The rest of them physically anyway are ok."
Given the celebrations over the last 72 hours, some of the players may not be feeling their best ahead of the Brighton clash. Postecoglou, though, explained it was important they were allowed to celebrate such an achievement.
"We'll field a team," he said. "As I've got older, I used to be different, I think you need to celebrate your achievements properly.
"That was my message to the boys. Important for them as they've achieved, important for those around them and important to make experiences as memorable as possible."
Radu Dragusin, Lucas Bergvall, Dejan Kulusevski and James Maddison, who all missed the Europa League final, remain out injured.
