Premier League chief executive Richard Masters says he is confident any further potential lockdowns will not prevent fixtures from taking place.
Rising Covid-19 cases have seen various areas of the country placed in a series of tiered restrictions to public life with there being fears even more stringent rules could be imposed if infection rates continue to increase.
All football was suspended in March for three months when the first national lockdown happened, with Premier League fixtures only resuming in June as part of the Project Restart programme.
Plans to begin the staggered return of some fans to grounds this month were paused due to fears of rising coronavirus cases but Masters also reiterated his call to get supporters back into stadiums as soon as possible.
Speaking about the potential of further measures being imposed by the government as fears over a second wave of the virus increase globally, Masters maintained he felt any new potential lockdown would not prevent matches still being played.
He said: "We think we’ve got a proven model that works in Project Restart, and at the moment we’re happy and so are government. We can continue."
In regards to all fans still being banned from attending football matches, Masters pointed out the inconsistency of audiences currently being allowed to attend some indoor events.
“We are talking to the Government, we have constructive discussions with the Government but we did see this week a fairly full London Palladium", he said.
"Ultimately there's an inconsistency there, that you can go to an indoor venue, enjoy an evening out.
"We think that's a really positive thing, the big question is why can't that be, in the near future, sports venues as well?"
