Jose Mourinho said he had no issue with Harry Winks or Dele Alli disappearing down the tunnel during Tottenham's 2-0 Europa League win over Royal Antwerp.
Spurs topped Group J with the win that was set up by second-half goals from Carlos Vinicius and Giovani Lo Celso.
But Winks, who has been unhappy with his lack of game time this season, headed straight to the dressing room after being taken off before the hour, while substitute Alli joined him shortly after Mourinho had made all five changes.
Harry Winks subbed off 58 minutes in and heads straight down the tunnel.
