Lst month Tottenham star Son Heung-min reported to a marines boot camp to begin three weeks of military service in his home country of South Korea.
He has temporarily swapped his football kit for a combat uniform and will be exposed to tear gas, 18-mile marches and live-fire drills during his time there.
All able-bodied men from his native South Korea are required to serve the military for two years but Son managed to gain exemption after helping his country win the gold medal at the 2018 Asian Games.
Son had previous been exempted from two-year military service by winning the Asian Games
Instead, with no football taking place due to the coronavirus crisis, Son is completing a shortened version of a boot camp that is required for all new regular enlistees.
