Crystal Palace learn European fate
The decision, announced on 11 July, stems from co-owner John Textor's significant stake in both Crystal Palace and French club Lyon.
UEFA regulations prohibit individuals from having control over more than one club participating in the same European competition, with Lyon given precedence.
Nottingham Forest are expected to take Crystal Palace 's place in the Europa League, having finished seventh in the Premier League last season.
Crystal Palace are likely to appeal UEFA's decision to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, meaning the final Europa League spot remains unconfirmed.

Transfer news live: Rashford nears Barcelona switch, Liverpool's Ekitike offer, Arsenal latest
The summer transfer window rolls on as Premier League clubs and those around Europe look to add to their squads ahead of the 2025/26 season. Arsenal 's negotiations for Sporting's Viktor Gyokeres had stalled due to a difference in valuation and terms, though the Gunners are now in the process of completing a move after a breakthrough in talks. Noni Madueke was unveiled on Friday, whereas Eberechi Eze remains a target, but Arsenal are set to leave on their pre-season tour of Asia without completing the deal for a new striker. Manchester United continue to focus on a deal for Bryan Mbeumo and have now agreed a fee for the Brentford forward with a medical to follow next, while there remains plenty of focus on outgoings as Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho and Jadon Sancho near the exit door. Liverpool are in advanced talks with Eintracht Frankfurt over Hugo Ekitike. The former Paris Saint-Germain player has a €100m (£86m) release clause and it is expected that Ekitike would want to make the switch to Anfield and that personal terms could be agreed with the 23-year-old.

Who will Oleksandr Usyk fight next after stopping Daniel Dubois again?
Oleksandr Usyk underlined his class as a generational talent in the ring with a superb fifth-round stoppage over Daniel Dubois at Wembley. The bout, a rematch of their controversial first clash in 2023, earned Usyk his 24th win and saw him become undisputed heavyweight champion for the second time. As the dust settles on his dominant victory over the Briton, attention is already turning to who the 38-year-old may face next. The Ukrainian made no allusions to retirement, instead telling the Wembley crowd: 'Next, I don't know. I want to rest now – maybe two, three months just rest.' But he left himself open to a number of challengers, mentioning three names in in his post-fight interview: Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua, Joseph Parker. Derek Chisora was also tabled as a potential opponent. Dubois' promoter Frank Warren confirmed Parker is next in line, in a mandatory defence for the WBA champion. But it was YouTuber-cum-boxer Jake Paul who stepped into the ring to face off against Usyk, mere moments after he defeated Dubois, leading to speculation that the American would be his next opponent. Paul has a 12-1 record as a professional boxer, with his most recent result a points win over former world champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. However, Saudi adviser Turki Alalshikh said last week that Paul has 'accepted' a fight with Anthony Joshua, potentially complicating plans for Usyk to fight either of the pair. Joshua's last bout came in September, when he suffered a knockout loss to Dubois at Wembley. Fury was the first name Usyk suggested, receiving cheers from the Wembley crowd, with the Briton recently announcing another return from retirement.

Hibs are in the home straight when it comes to preparations for their Europa League date with destiny against FC Midtjylland. The club will travel to Denmark in the week ahead for the first leg of a second qualiyfing round match. Leg two will play out on July 31st at Easter Road and ahead of it, Thibault Klidje, Josh Mulligan, Rapahel Sallinger and Jamie McGrath have been signed up. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad They have faced the likes of Ajax and Bournemouth building into the match and finished off pre season preparations versus Bolton Wanderers in Darren McGregor's testimonial. There's still transfer business going on in the background across the division and further afield. Here's a round up of some emerging headlines with Hibs flavourings, including one ex star being allowed to leave Celtic and a club hero possibly bound for Serie A. Stevie Mallan's retirement concern After a lengthy period out of the game with injury, Stevie Mallan has signed a one year deal with St Johnstone after impressing as a trialist versus Dundee United. He admits there were times in that period out where the former Hibs midfielder thought his time was up in football. He said: 'It feels amazing to be back involved and looking forward to games again. Being out on the pitch against Dundee United, that was the moment which pushed me on over the last 18 months. I tore my plantar fascia, which is on the bottom of your foot, when I was at Salford, and it tore another couple of times during the recovery. It's what helps you push off and sprint, so it's not a good one to get as a footballer. I'd done it before on my left foot and then it happened on my right foot the following season. "I spoke to specialists all over the place, Scotland, England, America and they all said the same thing, it just needs time. But when you're a footballer you don't have time because you end up without a club. I'll be honest, there were times I thought that was it. I sat down with my wife and said to her a couple of times that I need to pack it in, I can't keep doing this. She kept the faith in me, and that helped me keep the faith in myself.

I was in the last chance saloon, we didn't know if it would work or not. He told me that if it didn't work post-operation, then that's when I can give it a rest and start the next part of my career. I got the operation, he worked his magic and it's got me back on the pitch pain-free." Kwon could leave Celtic Following time out on loan at Hibs last season, midfielder Kwon's time at Celtic looks to be over. Amid fierce competition for midfield places at Parkhead, boss Brendan Rodgers has said it is likely the South Korean is on the move. Speaking on Yang and the former Hibs man, who has also spent time on loan at St Mirren during time at Celtic, Rodgers said: 'Kwon is in a difficult position with the competition there so he's obviously looking for a club. There's been a little bit of interest in Yang but he's been a good squad player for us.' Liam Henderson to Serie A transfer Midfielder Liam Henderson will forever be remembered at Easter Road as a hero of the 2016 Scottish Cup winning team. He swung in the corner that David Gray headed home against Rangers in the showpiece that cemented that side's place in Leith history, starting his career at Celtic and spending much of his career in Italy. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Most recently contracted to Empoli, reports have suggested that Serie A newcomers Sassulou could be the next stop on the former Hibs and Celtic man's Italian adventure. That would see him link up with Josh Doig, the former Hibs left back who is also at the club.
