Son Heung-min to miss Tottenham's first week of full training due to 14-day quarantine

The Son Heung-min military training could force the Spurs forward to miss the first week of full Tottenham training before the possible resumption of the Premier League. The 27-year-old has already spent two separate fortnights in quarantine and might have to spend another 14 days in self-isolation when he returns to the UK upon completion of the Son Heung-min military training. Meanwhile, the Tottenham training centre will allow members of the first-team squad limited access to the training ground beginning from April 28.
