Premier League medics believe attempts to complete the season will not collapse if a player or staff member tests positive for the coronavirus.
The scenario of infection has been discussed by Premier League doctors in recent days and will be raised at Friday's shareholders meeting, which will outline plans for how the game can return.
Despite the clear willingness to recommence the season, there are major concerns one positive test will completely derail the plans.
But Sportsmail understands that will not be case, with top-flight medical staff ready to agree to persist with trying to get the season finished even if positive tests occur.
