According to AFP, Man City could find out the verdict of their two-year European ban appeal as early as July next month – giving the Sky Blues a potential boost as we await the outcome in time for next season’s Champions League.
City’s appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) commenced on Monday via video conference, with the club’s representatives given until Wednesday evening to plead their case and convince the court that they’re not guilty of breaking Financial Fair Play rules.
Despite other outlets reporting that we won’t find out the verdict of this appeal until August at the earliest, AFP claim CAS secretary general Matthieu Reeb thinks a result could be published just next month – which would be good news for both City and UEFA.
