Top-flight managers will hold talks with the Premier League on Monday over the ongoing Covid-19 crisis.
Aston Villa boss Steven Gerrard has revealed the bosses will speak to each other and the league to discuss their concerns.
He said: "On the back of what a lot of managers have said, we want the same thing - which is for the game to continue. There are obviously a lot of concerns and a lot of unanswered questions.
"That's the reason why the Premier League, on Monday, have put in place an opportunity for the managers to get together and I'm hoping there will be a lot of clarity which comes off the back of that meeting.
"There's also an opportunity for the captains to get together and speak and have a debate on what is the best thing to do in the current situation. "
Gerrard insists player welfare must be the priority amid the winter Covid crisis.
He wants to ensure players are protected during the fresh Omicron wave and hectic fixture list - if their games remain on.
He said: "Player welfare has to be taken into consideration here because this is not just a Covid situation, this is what comes on the back of it.
"We're having to use more players for more games and more minutes because we've got some players missing with Covid. That puts more strain and stress on the players individually and you pick up more injuries on the back of that.
"We're at the time of year where, naturally, there are more colds and bugs, and there's that paranoia that while they maybe haven't had a positive test yet, are they going to have a positive test in a few days? Do you then take them out of the environment to protect others?
"There's all kinds of concerns and situations going on at the moment. I just hope the Premier League and the powers that be take player welfare into consideration."
