Tottenham has confirmed that Son Heung-min will complete his mandatory four-week military commitment while the Premier League remains shut down amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Son was reportedly looking into the possibility last week. He had earned a military service exemption in 2018, when South Korea won the gold medal at the Asian Games to allow him to defer his responsibility (which originally would have been 21 months). With the Premier League shut down indefinitely–and with Son recovering from a broken arm–the forward is back in his home country and will fulfill his national obligations without missing any playing time for his club.
