Coronavirus: Tottenham star Son urges fans to stay away as he prepares for military service

Tottenham forward Heung-min Son has urged supporters not to ignore coronavirus social-distancing measures in an attempt to greet him as he prepares to complete mandatory military service in South Korea.

The 27-year-old will take part in a four-week training camp in April that will not be accessible to the public, a restriction that has been put in place in an attempt to stop the spread of the Covid-19 virus.

With the Premier League having been stopped amid the coronavirus pandemic, it has been agreed that now is an appropriate time for Son to complete the military service that he had previously been excused from.
