Borussia Dortmund sporting director Carsten Cramer has told the Premier League to copy the Bundesliga's lead.
The German Bundesliga is set to resume this weekend after a two-month absence caused by the coronavirus and excitement is building ahead of the end-of-season run-in in which four clubs are in with a chance of landing the title.
Dortmund are second in the table, four points behind leaders Bayern Munich, and their season restarts against Schalke on Saturday.
The Premier League are keeping a close eye on their European neighbours as they plot a route to top-flight football returning in the UK.
And Cramer admits there will be hiccups en route to completing the campaign but says contingency plans are in place.
“The Bundesliga created a matchday schedule that makes it possible for some games to be postponed,” he told The Independent.
“A positive test won’t be a catastrophe as long as we have the rules and recommendations for how to get along with it.
"We have a close exchange with our health department. The moment they say ‘Dortmund, you have too many positive tests we have to make a decision', we will follow. Right now we have always had negative tests.
“The problems of the Bundesliga are similar to La Liga and Premier League – for all of us, part of this sector, it is important that we can finish the regular season.
"It might be helpful for other leagues now that Germany could be a best practise. This is helpful not only for the Bundesliga but also for other leagues.
“But my hope is that we can give good arguments to other leagues that it makes sense and works that if you have a concept and strategy a domestic league can restart.
“Like Alexander Ceferin said, it’s also helpful for UEFA and other competitions that there is a way existing for how to come back with a domestic, regular matchday.”
The UK government has given the Premier League the power to restart top division matches from June 1 but they are looking to continue from June 12.
Some Premier League stars have complained that they are scared of returning while coronavirus is so rife.
But Cramer insists none of his squad have refused to return to training.
“It’s an easy question: No," he said.

The financal impact of no football has heavily impacted clubs and Dortmund are no difference.
“It is around €3m per matchday," Cramer explained.
“This is a big issue because revenues are missing but the expenses are still continuing. We are happy we didn’t need to convince the players to reduce the salaries, that was just a one-hour meeting, each player agreed and understood they had to give up a percentage of their salaries – the management did as well – but we are losing money of course.
“There are of course many people who might be a bit negative and jealous, and maybe hope we might fail, this puts us under pressure and ambition to perform as best as it is possible. If this will work in Germany, I’m sure it will be helpful for the other leagues, and it might be a big step in a fruitful future for European football as well.”
