MADRID, May 20 (Reuters) - Almeria will find out next week if the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) will grant the La Liga club's appeal against a three-point deduction imposed by FIFA over late payment of cash owed to Danish club Aalborg.
The court's decision could be crucial to Almeria's hopes of staying in Spain's top flight as they are mired in the relegation places with only Saturday's game at home to Valencia remaining.
The Andalusian club are second from bottom on 32 points and if CAS reject their appeal they will be relegated.
