Tottenham Hotspur's South Korean striker Son Heung-min began his three-week military training at a marines boot camp yesterday, a report said, with the Premier League on hold over the coronavirus pandemic.

All able-bodied South Korean men are obliged to serve in the military for nearly two years, making up the bulk of Seoul's 600,000-strong forces -- who face off against North Korea's army of 1.3 million.
