The Premier League is slated for a decisive few days to establish whether it is possible to resume and complete the current season.
Club officials will meet Monday to continue talks about restarting the project.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson did not mention professional sports in the presentation of plans to reopen society on Sunday.
The government is expected to announce Monday that some elite athletes may begin an initial phase of restricted group training later this week.
That will depend on the medical protocols that are finalized and accepted.
Footballers have so far been limited to individual training.
No vote on the use of neutral venues is planned during Monday’s Premier League meeting, a sign that roughly six or seven clubs remain opposed to the idea.
The league has been suspended since March 13 due to the coronavirus pandemic, but its goal is to resume in June, with most clubs facing nine games to play.
Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden will meet with soccer authorities on Thursday.
Later this week, the Premier League will also hold discussions with the Association of Professional Soccer Players and the Association of League Managers after they have digested the necessary medical protocols to return to stage training and then full competition, and have received comments from its members.
On Sunday, the Prime Minister said that people in England will be able to “play sports but only with members of their own home.”
Dowden tweeted that the government “will imminently allow” some sports such as golf, basketball, tennis, and fishing to resume “in the least risky outdoor settings” and only for those participating alone or in their own homes.
The Premier League still faces several challenges surrounding the Restart Project.
A third, anonymous Brighton player tested positive for coronavirus on Sunday after two others tested positive earlier in the pandemic.
Private coronavirus testing is estimated to cost between £ 150 and £ 180, and protocols working in football are understood to insist on testing twice a week.
For the Premier League to complete the remaining 92 matches, that could be around 40,000 tests at a cost of around £ 30,000 per week.
Crystal Palace President Steve Parish, who supports Project Restart, told the BBC One Andrew Marr Show that initial plans to host league games again from June may be unfeasible.
Aston Villa, Brighton and Watford have publicly opposed using neutral locations to complete the season, while club doctors have voiced concerns about aspects of the proposals.
A vote on neutral locations is likely to take place later in May, and 14 of the 20 clubs must vote in favor of adoption.
Before voting, league chiefs also await government guidance on biosecurity criteria at events and ground safety licenses, which is expected this week.
Monday’s Premier League meeting will feature a vote on whether the players’ contracts will last until the end of the rescheduled season.
The European leagues have until May 25 to tell Uefa if they want to complete or cancel their seasons.
Premier League chief executive Richard Masters previously predicted a loss of “at least £ 1 billion” if the Premier League does not complete the 2019-20 campaign.
