England's Football Association has offered Wembley Stadium and St George's Park, the national football center, as venues to help the Premier League complete the season, the Times newspaper reported.
Wembley could host multiple matches on the same day while limiting travel between venues once restrictions are eased, the report said, adding that fans were unlikely to be allowed to attend.
Football in England has been suspended since March 13 because of the coronavirus pandemic and its return has been made contingent on medical advice and government support. "When we know about the length of lockdown and exit mechanisms we can see which options are viable," the source told the Times.
St George's Park, which has a hotel with 228 guest rooms on site as well as 13 pitches, five of which are floodlit, could be used as a quarantined training center, the report added.
The Premier League season must be played to a finish after the Covid-19 shutdown is over instead of using "artificial means" to decide the champions as well as relegation and Champions League spots, Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson said.
Hodgson said teams might have to accept increased safety restrictions and having to play more games in a shorter period when play resumed.
"Everyone is in total agreement we need an end to this season," the 72-year old said. "We don't want artificial means of deciding who wins the league, who gets into the Champions League, who gets relegated and promoted.
"Ideally our players would have three or four weeks minimum to prepare for the first match back, but I accept there may have to be a squeeze on that time frame.
"It might mean extra restrictions at our place of work ... It may also mean that we have to play our remaining matches in a shorter period of time than we normally would have done, and subsequently receive a shorter break between the seasons."
