Crystal Palace appeal Europa League banishment to Court of Arbitration for Sport, as 'expected date of verdict is revealed'
The Eagles had looked to be participating in the second tier of European competition after beating Manchester City in the FA Cup final in May to win their first-ever major trophy.
Their bid to overturn the decision comes two weeks after they were barred from competing in the Europa League due to rules on multi-club ownership, with American businessman John Textor also being the majority owner of Lyon.

John Stones fires warning to Manchester City's Premier League rivals
John Stones is convinced Manchester City have the 'fire in our bellies' to regain their Premier League title. City surrendered the crown they won in the previous four seasons to Liverpool during an underwhelming 2024-25 campaign. Defender Stones believes lessons have been learned and has detected a strong desire to put things right since the players have reported for pre-season training. The England international said: 'It was humbling for us after all the success that we've had. 'It makes us realise what we've done, what we've achieved over the years and how proud we should be, but we're obviously frustrated at what we did last season. It's not what we want to replicate. 'To finish third, three or four points behind Arsenal is – to our standards – not good, (nor) how we played through the season. 'We've got to put that right and get back to our identity, get back to winning matches and having that presence about us and believing in ourselves as a team. 'I'm sure we'll find that and bring it back because it was tough last season to go through what we did. We've definitely come back with that fire in our bellies to go and achieve.' Stones is now fit after an injury-hit past season but was not risked by manager Pep Guardiola during the Club World Cup in the summer. Despite not featuring, the 31-year-old made emphatically clear when speaking to media during that tournament that he would not be leaving the club. Entering the final year of his contract, there had been speculation about his future but the former Everton player hopes that has now been shut down. He said: 'It's laughable to me. I understand why people do it but there's nothing to comment on. 'I love it here, nothing's happening. I'm here to fight and play and hopefully win some trophies.' Stones was speaking as City held an open training session alongside the club's women's side at the Joie Stadium on the fringe of their training complex on Tuesday. City now have a friendly at Palermo on Saturday before facing Wolves in their opening Premier League game at Molineux on August 16. The side is taking on a different shape with new signings Rayan Cherki, Rayan Ait-Nouri and Tijjani Reijnders having been integrated during the Club World Cup, in which City reached the last 16. Their arrivals continued a squad refresh after the signings of Omar Marmoush, Nico Gonzalez, Abdukodir Khusanov and Vitor Reis in January. Stones said: 'Things evolve, football evolves, and the guys that have come in have been great. 'It takes a bit of time, obviously, to get used to the style of play, what's expected, but the guys have come in for a reason. 'With the quality that they've got, the aspects of the game are different from what we've had in the past. I'm excited to play with them and see what they do.'

Rangers to request postponement of fixture amid new rule
This is contingent on their progression in the Champions League. The Ibrox club wishes to exercise the new rule allowing the postponement of league fixtures between European play-off matches. The league's governing body had earlier confirmed clubs involved in the play-off round of European competitions could request their matchday three fixture be postponed. This is to aid their qualification efforts. Rangers' match against St Mirren is scheduled for Sunday, August 24, at the SMiSA Stadium. However, it will only take place if they do not progress to the play-off round. The club will have to first succeed in the third qualifying round tie against Viktoria Plzen. A win there will see them face either Red Bull Salzburg or Club Brugge in the play-off round. Their progression will result in the postponement of the fixture against St Mirren. A club statement confirmed: "Our fixture against St Mirren at the SMiSA Stadium has now been rescheduled for Sunday, 24 August, kicking off at 12 noon and will be shown live on Sky Sports. "However, following a request from the club, should we progress to the UEFA [[Champions League]] play-off round, we will exercise the option to postpone the match and it will be played at a later date." The Scottish Professional Football League (SPFL) has also provided an update on match arrangements for round three of the William Hill Premiership. An [[SPFL]] statement read: "As previously confirmed, Dundee United v Aberdeen on Saturday, August 23 has been postponed following a request by Aberdeen, who will be participating in the [[UEFA]] Europa League play-offs. "The new policy, which allows clubs involved in UEFA play-off matches to postpone their round three fixtures, was approved by the SPFL Board in April to support clubs aiming to reach the league phase of UEFA competitions. "St Mirren v Rangers has been selected for live coverage on Sky Sports on Sunday, August 24, kick-off 12 noon, but following a request from Rangers will be postponed if they reach the play-off round of the Champions League." The SPFL will announce new dates for postponed round three matches following the publication of the UEFA league phase fixtures at the end of August.
