London, May 6 (SocialNews.XYZ) English Premier League clubs are yet to settle on norms to ensure a safe return to playing amid the coronavirus pandemic, says Aston Villa chief executive Christian Purslow.
"We haven't got to the crucial protocols that relate to actually playing football. Until we crack the code of making our great contact sports safe then the conversation we're having is hypothetical," Purslow told talkSPORT radio.
"We have six home games left to play so any Villa fan would agree that giving up that advantage is a massive decision for somebody running Aston Villa and I certainly wouldn't agree to that unless the circumstances are right," he added.
Aston Villa, along with Brighton and West Ham have expressed public opposition to the current "Project Restart" plan that would see all remaining games played at neutral stadiums in the Premier League.
The Premier League is hoping to return to action by June 8 in a bid to complete the season.
Manchester City and Argentina striker Sergio Aguero has said that players are mostly scared to get back to playing because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Aston Villa are second-last in the Premier League table and two points from safety with 10 games remaining.
