Premier League clubs may refuse to play when the season is due to resume next month because of widespread concerns about their players' fitness and the integrity of the competition.
All of English professional football was shut down until April 3 today following talks between the Premier League, FA and EFL, but Sportsmail has been told that there is little expectation amongst the clubs of a resumption being possible in three weeks' time.
Executives at several Premier League clubs have flagged a number of issues to Sportsmail, which they say may be enough to prevent football returning next month, even if public events remain permitted by the government.
