Son Heung-min has been pictured carrying out his military service in South Korea.
The Tottenham forward returned to his homeland last month to undergo mandatory four-week training.
All men from South Korea must complete military service by the age of 28.
Son, who reaches that age in July, earned exemption from the mandatory 21-month service after helping his country to glory in the 2018 Asian Games.
But he is still required to serve for four weeks and is doing so while football is in lockdown due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Son’s time with the South Korean military is not just a public relations exercise, however, and he will be exposed to tear gas, go on lengthy hikes and be trained how to fire guns during his time on the island of Jeju.
And he was pictured with a gun and wearing full army gear on Wednesday.
The South Korea international suffered a broken arm in February and returned home for an operation, with Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho expecting him to miss the remainder of the season.
However, the ongoing COVID-19 crisis has allowed him to regain his fitness and also serve his country.

Son is expected to return to Tottenham sometime this month but may have to complete a two-week quarantine on his return before he can rejoin his teammates.
Spurs reopened their training ground for players to take part in individual sessions while still maintaining social distancing.
The Premier League could return in June with plans being discussed by the league, clubs and the government.
