Tottenham have confirmed on Monday that their star Son Heung-min is set to carry out his mandatory four-week military service in South Korea later this month.
In a statement, the Premier League club revealed that the South Korean player will commence his mandatory military service, as all South Korean men must complete military service by the age of 28.
Son, who turns 28 in July, was allowed to return to his homeland last month to continue his recovery from a fractured arm.
Tottenham revealed that their forward will return to London in May after completing his military service.
"Son will return to London following the conclusion of his military service in May," the English club said in a statement.
The South Korean player landed in his homeland at the end of March as he will remain in quarantine for two weeks as a precautionary measure against the spread of the coronavirus.
"The forward arrived back in his home country at the end of March where he is currently in quarantine. Our medical staff are in regular contact as he concludes his recovery after fracturing his arm in our 3-2 win against Aston Villa on 16 February and continues to train," the statement read.
He was exempted from the mandatory 21-month military service after guiding South Korea to win the 2018 Asian Games, but is required to serve for four weeks.
