The Premier League wants clubs to resume full contact training as early as next week, according to reports.
The Times claims top flight bosses are now hoping to step up the phased return to full training with a view to restarting in mid-June, but could face push-back from players.
All 20 clubs resumed group training this week following a unanimous vote, though strict guidelines remain in place which limit the number of players involved in joint drills and the time each member can spend on the training field.
