Several Premier League clubs are pushing to have the remainder of the season scrapped.

On Friday, it was announced that the season will be put on hold indefinitely dependant on the severity of the coronavirus pandemic in three weeks' time.

Clubs are currently at odds over the best course of action, which could see teams denied promotion or saved from relegation depending on the decision, reports the Daily Mail.

Their issues include:

- The risk of more players contracting coronavirus during the shutdown given that personnel at seven clubs have already been infected - Arsenal, Chelsea, Leicester City, Bournemouth, Manchester City, West Ham, Brighton and Everton.

- The need to protect the integrity of the competition by ensuring that all clubs return to action at the same time, which will be impossible there are more positive tests over the next three weeks.

- The fact that there are 69 Premier League players out of contract on June 30, which raises further issues over sporting integrity if they have signed deals to move to other clubs.
