Spurs' Son and Bergwijn allowed to return to home countries

Tottenham Hotspur duo Son Heung-min and Steven Bergwijn have been allowed to travel home despite the coronavirus lockdown in Britain.

Son was granted permission to fly to South Korea on Sunday for personal reasons, while Bergwijn has returned to the Netherlands ahead of the impending birth of his child.

All football across Europe has been suspended due to the worldwide pandemic, with this summer’s European Championship and Copa America pushed back a year in a bid to contain the spread of the virus.

The current Champions League and Europa League campaigns have also been put on hold, with UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin admitting that the entire football season could be declared void if leagues are unable to resume by the end of June.
