Tottenham Hotspur star Son Heung-min, has reported back to training after completing his military
service in his home country South Korea.
The 27-year-old swapped his all-white Spurs kit for
camouflage overalls as he spent time in Seoul after completing his compulsory
national service in the South Korean Military. He impressed during the training
and finished among the top five performers.
He has since returned
back to North London and made his return to the training pitch as the
rest of the Premier League began their first sessions since the coronavirus pandemic caused football to be suspended.
Son did not need to
self-isolate after returning from South Korea as he has not tested positive for
coronavirus, in line with Premier League and Government protocols.
The
Spurs forward took part in a session at Hotspur Way Training Ground and posed
for the camera with much shorter hair than usual.
The break that has been caused by the pandemic allowed the
South Korean to fully recover from a broken arm that could have written off the
rest of his season and he was also able to complete the Military service
without it affecting his footballing calendar.
Footage emerged from Sky News of some of Tottenham’s squad
taking part in shooting drills at their headquarters whilst remaining safely
distanced.
Corner flags, balls, cones, goalposts, playing surfaces
and other equipment will be disinfected after each session, while social distancing
must be ‘strictly observed’ during these sessions.
As the rest of the Premier League clubs made their much
anticipated return to the training field, it was revealed that just six players
and staff tested postive for coronavirus out of 748 tests across the
league.
