Kevin de Bruyne said he and his family are recovering from illness, but the Manchester City star said he was unsure if he had coronavirus.

Midfielder De Bruyne told Sky Sports he and his family had been feeling unwell for around two weeks, but that none had taken a test for Covid-19 and had self-isolated at home.

"I am doing well, to be honest," De Bruyne said. "The first two weeks my family was sick so it was a little bit like up and down, but now they are all healthy.

"We don't know if we had it [coronavirus] or not but I think we're doing well now."

The Belgium international, 28, says he is now fully recovered, and is maintaining fitness levels while adhering to social distancing rules.

The Premier League is suspended indefinitely because of the pandemic, but there remains a chance play will resume this season following a meeting of the 20 clubs on Friday.

"Well, the first two weeks was a little bit weird because I don't know what's going on," De Bruyne said.

"Then I managed to get a treadmill. I was swimming a little bit because I'm lucky to have a pool downstairs.

"I was doing a couple of lengths but now mostly I'm doing a run and I would say every other day I would choose between swimming and doing some exercise, so I'm keeping fairly good for what we can on our own, I guess."

Premier League clubs remain committed to finishing the top-flight season but did not set a June 30 deadline to complete the fixture list at a meeting on Friday.

With the English top flight suspended since mid-March due to the coronavirus, it had been reported that as many as nine clubs were keen to complete the campaign by the end of June.

But it is understood that the 20 clubs did not discuss wrapping up the remaining 92 Premier League fixtures by then when they met on a conference call with league chiefs.

With fears that failure to finish the season could cost the Premier League more than £1 billion, clubs looked at various models for a potential return to action.

Britain is on lockdown until May 7 at the earliest to limit the spread of Covid-19, leaving English football to play a waiting game.

There is a general acceptance among clubs that matches will be played behind closed doors if the competition can resume, with restrictions on mass gatherings likely to remain in force for the foreseeable future.

A Premier League statement said a number of complex scenarios were being worked through.

"The health and well-being of players, coaches, managers, club staff and supporters are our priority and the league will only restart when medical guidance allows," it said.

European football's governing body, Uefa, is working on a proposal that could see the remainder of the Champions League condensed into a week-long mini-tournament with the final taking place on August 29 in Istanbul, according to several reports.

Football, as with most sports around the world, has been brought to a standstill by the Covid-19 pandemic, with all major European leagues suspended and the Champions League stalled in the middle of its round of 16.

Uefa wants the Europa League final to be held in Gdansk on August 26 and the Champions League final played three days later, the BBC reported.

Uefa is considering two options, one of which is to hold the Champions League quarter-finals and semi-finals across two legs in July and August. This would only be possible if domestic leagues restarted in June.

The second option is to play the remaining Champions League ties as one-off fixtures after the end of the domestic seasons and could see the remainder of the competition played out over the course of a week.

Both options would be discussed at Uefa's Executive Committee meeting next Thursday, the report added.
