UEFA have apologised for failing to provide Tottenham stars with Europa League winners' medals after Wednesday night's victory over Manchester United.
Captain Son Heung-min, midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur and defender Cristian Romero were noticeably left without medals as they lifted the trophy in Bilbao.
UEFA said: "To our great displeasure, we did not have enough medals available on stage during the trophy ceremony presentation due to an unexpected discrepancy in the player count, as more team members - including injured players - participated in the ceremony than initially anticipated.
"The missing medals were promptly delivered to the winning team in the dressing room, along with our sincerest apologies for the oversight."
