Amid the coronavirus crisis in the UK, the Premier League has been suspended indefinitely.

The 2008 Asian Games gold medalist was given a special exemption from the country's 21-month compulsory military training and had his stint shortened to a month-long assignment instead.
Son Heung-min arrived on the island of Jeju last Monday and spent his first week with the marines. Tottenham expect their Asian superstar to return to North London soon after May 8 despite the Premier League return being in jeopardy. However, Son is likely to return as one of the fittest players at the club after his military training.
