UEFA's 55 member nations are braced for showdown talks on Thursday over the best ways to conclude the football season amid the coronavirus crisis and the temperature is already rising.
With serious doubts over whether the remaining fixtures in several countries will even be completed amid lockdowns and high death tolls, a consensus somehow needs to be found.
Some members, like Belgium and Holland, are leaning towards a complete cancellation of the 2019-20 campaign, with results being expunged. It is believed a number of smaller nations support this position.
Arsenal could play in next season's Champions League if UEFA accepted a controversial proposal to use their club coefficient to determine which teams qualify
But it would be bad news for Leicester City, currently third in the Premier League, as the coefficient would place them in next season's Europa League
But others, like England and certainly Germany, where the Bundesliga could restart on May 9, are pushing forward on the assumption the season can and will be concluded.
