The Premier League 'has made initial contact with Twickenham' about using the home of English rugby as a 'neutral' venue to complete the season.
English football's top-flight is drawing up detailed plans called 'Project Restart' in an effort to complete the 92 remaining matches in the 2019-20 season once the Covid-19 lockdown restrictions have been eased.
The games would be played behind closed doors at 'approved' venues between June 8 and the end of July though it remains to be decided whether a limited number of Premier League grounds or entirely 'neutral' venues are used.
This will be discussed at the next video conference meeting between Premier League stakeholders this Friday.
The majority of clubs wish to play at their own grounds so as not to squander home advantage - even if supporters cannot be present - but there is a growing acceptance that 'neutral' venues may have to be used to make the plan work.
Wembley and St George's Park - the England team base in Staffordshire - are considered leading contenders for 'neutral' venues, though the latter would required upgrades to broadcasting facilities.
And, according to the Evening Standard, the Premier League have also made contact with rugby authorities over using Twickenham, which is available in June and July.
UEFA, the governing body of European football, has given the Premier League until May 25 to submit a full plan to restart the competition including a confirmed resumption date.
Four clubs - Arsenal, Tottenham, West Ham and Brighton - this week re-opened training facilities so players can work on their fitness while observing the Government's social distancing rules.
The Project Restart proposals would require all 20 Premier League teams to be back in full training by May 18 but is reliant on the current lockdown restrictions being eased in the meantime.
