The Premier League are examining how to play next season behind closed doors as the English FA Chairman said fans wouldn't be returning 'any time soon'.
Greg Clarke wrote to the FA governing council to say that "with social distancing in place for some time to come, we do face substantial changes to to whole football ecosystem."
"For example, it's hard to foresee crowds of fans, who are the lifeblood of the game, returning to matches any time soon."
This ties in with Premier League plans to prepare for the 2020-21 season being played behind closed doors.
The return to any normal type of activity is set to be off the table until a coronavirus vaccine or anti-viral remedy is found.
The Premier League intend to finish the current season, but only in line with UK Government advice, which is expected to become more clear on Sunday when British Prime Minister Boris Johnson announces the stages for the ease of the lock down.
Under 'Project Restart' plans, the Premier League would intend to resume matches on June 12th in order to fulfill UEFA's deadline of August 2nd for club activity to be completed.
Around a third of clubs are believed to be opposed to matches taking place at neutral venues, with Brighton publicly coming out against the plan.
