CORONAVIRUS is sweeping the globe and the Premier League has been postponed as a result.

But Son Heung-min has completed his period of self-isolation and is expected to return to training next week, should it go ahead.

Meanwhile, Harry Kane could be off to Juventus in the summer, while Liverpool's Dejan Lovren is wanted in North London.

• SPORTING KO

  Here is the latest list of sporting events that have been cancelled as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.

  

• ITALIAN RE-START

  Damiano Tommasi told Che Tempo Che Fa: “It's clearly impossible to start playing at the beginning of April.

  “If all goes well, we can resume in May or June. When we talk about football, people think we are only ensuring the safety of players, but there's a whole world behind the team.

  “The first to be contaminated were in Serie C with Pianese, and their kit man is still in intensive care. Juventus have 100 people under quarantine.

  “These are people who travel all around Italy and Europe, meeting many, many people during the course of their work.

  “The problem is not just Italian, but European, so Uefa have to behave like the European Union.”

• PREM PRAYER

  The Premier League has been given hope of restarting in weeks rather than months after it was revealed Serie A could be back as early as May.

  Prem chiefs confirmed the English top flight is out of action until at least April 3 – with clubs staring at a potential £1BILLION blackhole if the rest of the season is called off.

  But Italian Footballers' Association president Damiano Tommasi says Cristiano Ronaldo and Co could be back in May or June.

  That is dependant on “all going well” with coronavirus – a massive ask given Italy's struggle to contain the killer bug, with at least 1,800 deaths in the country.

  Tommasi is confident enough, though, to place a timescale on the league's return despite the country – and most of Europe – remaining in a state of lockdown.

• THATCH OF THE DAY

  One Tottenham fan, who lives in a traditional thatched cottage, has a cockerel on top of his roof, just like Tottenham Stadium.

  The supporter, called @PaxtonSpurs on Twitter, said: “Finally finished, thatched cockerel looks the bizzo.”

  Just don't let Gazza anywhere near it with a rifle.

  

• PAY YOUR WAY

  Sky Sports and BT Sport have no plans to reduce their subscription fees despite viewers having no live action to watch.

  The two broadcasting giants have already revealed they won’t be offering refunds for their dedicated fans.

  And now they’ve revealed there will be no discounts on their current subscriptions, despite coronavirus wiping out almost all sport across the globe.

  Reports claim Sky and BT will meet on Monday to discuss how best to fill the void left by the lack of live sport.

  As well as the usual football action – including the Premier League and Champions League – a whole world of other sport has been cancelled.

  England’s tour of Sri Lanka in the cricket was cancelled before the First Test, while rugby, Formula One, cycling, athletics and basketball – to name just a few – have been suspended.
