REUTERS: The England Football Association (FA) has offered Wembley Stadium and St George’s Park, the National Football Center, as venues to help the Premier League complete the season, the Times reported, citing a source familiar with the matter.

Wembley could host multiple matches on the same day and limit travel between venues once restrictions are eased, according to the report, adding that fans were unlikely to be able to attend.

Soccer in England has been suspended since March 13 and his return has been made subject to medical advice and government support.

“When we know about the duration of the closure and exit mechanisms, we can see what options are feasible,” the source told the Times.

St George’s Park, which has a hotel with 228 rooms on-site and 13 pitches, five of which are lighted, could be used as a quarantine training center, the report added.
