Tottenham Hotspur have confirmed Son Heung-min will complete his mandatory South Korean military service while the Premier League is suspended due to coronavirus.

The mandatory 21-month stint in military service for South Korean under 28 years of age was lifted for Son after he captained the country to a gold medal in the Asian Games in 2018.

Son, who is still recovering from a fractured arm, was supposed to complete the four-week service over the summer, but that has been moved forward due to the circumstances.

It read: "The club can confirm that Son Heung-min will commence his mandatory military service in South Korea this month.

"The forward arrived back in his home country at the end of March where he is currently in quarantine. Our medical staff are in regular contact as he concludes his recovery after fracturing his arm in our 3-2 win against Aston Villa on February 16 and continues to train.

"Sonny had surgery on his arm in South Korea before returning to the UK at the end of February to continue his rehabilitation, prior to the initial announcement of the professional game in England being suspended as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.

"The Premier League has since announced that the 2019/20 season will only return when it is 'safe and appropriate to do so' and is under constant review.

"Son will return to London following the conclusion of his military service in May."
