The Premier League are making plans to play games in “World Cup-style” isolation camps in an attempt to finish the 2019/20 season.
According to The Independent, matches could be played behind closed doors in June and July in two set locations, believed to be in London and the Midlands.
Professional football in England has been suspended since March 13 amidst the coronavirus pandemic.
There have been a number of meetings to discuss the resumption of football and what course of action to take in regards to the remaining fixtures of the 2019/20 campaign.
The Independent report that the football authorities have been in discussion over the weekend, with games being played in front of no fans the likeliest scenario.
This plan would see clubs be based in quarantined locations away from their families, similar to conditions evident at an international tournament.
All remaining 92 matches would then be televised with the idea of it being a “TV mega-event.”
This would see a number of games on every day over June and July.
