Premier League clubs have discussed what might happen if they cannot complete the season for the first time, chief executive Richard Masters has revealed after a meeting of all 20 clubs on Monday.
But they continue to believe that the 2019-20 campaign can be finished despite nearly two months passing since it was first suspended after Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta contracted coronavirus.
They are also hoping that they can avoid having to play the remainder of the season at neutral grounds.
Their aim to finish the season was given a boost on Monday by the UK government offering guidance that elite sport could return from June 1 if conditions allow for a move into the next phase of its response to the coronavirus pandemic.
