Nottingham Forest may learn this month whether they will regain any of the four points they lost for breaking spending rules.
Nuno Espirito Santo’s men are just one point above the relegation zone following their penalty in March, after they were found to have breached the Premier League’s profitability and sustainability regulations.
Forest appealed against the punishment and it is understood the hearing will start in the week beginning April 22.
Before that, Forest face a potentially decisive match at Everton, who are a point above them following their own deductions, on April 21.
