Heung-min Son in line for Spurs return next week

Heung-min Son is in line to return to Tottenham training next week.

The South Korean would join the likes of Harry Kane, Moussa Sissoko and Steven Bergwijn, all of whom have returned to training after overcoming their respective long-term injuries.

Son utilised the period of no play in England to complete his mandatory national service in the South Korean Military Corps, where he was reportedly awarded South Korea's Pilsung Prize.

The 27-year-old could yet have to self-isolate - as he did in March when he returned from Seoul following surgery on a fractured arm - but only if he tests positive for Covid-19, as per the Premier League and government guidelines.

Should he test negative, PA reports that Son would then be expected to return to Hotspur Way for individual training sessions from next week - and subsequently would be able to participate in group sessions when such a format is permitted.
