Manchester City 'fully prepared to appeal Champions League ban as soon as possible' after the coronavirus caused a delay to their case

Manchester City's lawyers are raring to go when it comes to appealing the club's two-year Champions League ban, according to The Mirror.

City were hoping to have their case heard by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) this month, however the coronavirus pandemic has pushed back the date set for the appeal.

It is now unlikely they will receive a ruling until July at the earliest, however the date could be brought up if CAS agrees.

'Our appeal has been fully prepared and the only thing we are waiting for is for a date to be set aside,' a senior City source told the Mirror.
