Amid the coronavirus crisis in the UK, the Premier League has been suspended indefinitely. During the football hiatus, Tottenham allowed their star forward to complete his mandatory military training in South Korea. 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.
