Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane says players are awaiting safety guidance from the Premier League before making their minds up about a possible return to competitive action next month.
Updated government guidelines have bolstered hopes of a mooted 12 June resumption but there is plenty of work to do around ensuring games can be played in a safe environment.
Speaking on Good Morning Britain, the England captain said: "I don't think anyone knows the right answer at the moment. I think the majority of players are looking forward to playing again as soon as possible but we know we want it to be as safe as possible too.
"From what I have heard - obviously I haven't seen too much of my team-mates - at the moment everyone is OK. We want to see how the Premier League gives us a plan and what that looks like. I guess we just go from there.
"Me personally, I am happy to start training in small groups if that is allowed and just trying to get back to some normality as soon as possible. I guess everyone is different and has their own personal view."
'Personally, I'm happy to start training in small groups if we are allowed.' @HKane says he's happy to return to training as long as the guidance from the Premier League allows it.

Kane confirmed that he, along with the rest of the Spurs squad, had been tested for coronavirus with no positive results following their return to individual sessions at Enfield.
"About a week ago we started going to the training ground, we were allowed to have one-on-one training with one member of staff on one pitch, self-distancing from everyone," he said.
"We had tests on Monday - all the players and staff had tests - and everyone came back negative, which was great.
"The clubs are talking to the Premier League and trying to find a way of next week or the next couple of weeks of training in small groups of four or five. Hopefully to be tested regularly as well.
"We are taking it day-by-day, week-by-week and we are just trying to go with the flow."
However, Watford skipper Troy Deeney says he will put his family's health before football and has raised concerns about the Premier League's plans.
The 31-year-old was part of a conference call this week with the Professional Footballers Association, Premier League chiefs and the government on safety measures surrounding Project Restart.
Those plans were given a boost on Thursday when Britain's Culture and Sport secretary Oliver Dowden said the government was "opening the door" for football to return next month but Deeney said he was against a quick restart.
"I'm not even talking about football at the moment - I'm talking about my family's health. If I feel that I'm not looking after my family, then I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to put my family at risk," Deeney said on Instagram.
"What are they going to do, take money off me? I've been broke before so it doesn't bother me.
"They're talking about not playing in front of fans until 2021. So if it's not safe enough for fans to be inside a stadium why should it be safe for players to be in there?"
More than 33,000 people have died in the United Kingdom due to the virus.
