Eberechi Eze says it would be a 'huge shame' if Crystal Palace were kicked out of the Europa League, but he is confident the issue will be resolved.
Mail Sport revealed this week that the club's participation in next season's competition is in doubt because of UEFA rules on multi-club ownership.
American businessman John Textor has a stake in both Palace and French club Lyon, who have also qualified for the Europa League.
Textor is now offering to sell his 43 per cent share in Palace and UEFA are expected to confirm in the next 10 days the outcome of this week's hearing in Nyon.
Eze, who scored the only goal in the FA Cup final win over Manchester City, is currently training with England here in Spain, but he is aware of the situation unfolding with his club.
'I really hope that that's not the case (removed from the Europa League) and I hope that Palace do get the reward for that (FA Cup win), because of what it took to actually achieve it,' he said.
UEFA ownership rules may mean they cannot compete. US businessman John Textor is majority shareholder at Lyon while Brondby are owned by Palace co-owner David Blitzer
'It would be a huge shame if that was the case, but I'm trusting that it will work out in the end.
'I'm sure it will work itself out and it should work itself out, because there are players who have worked to be in this position.
'There are fans who have been with the team throughout the whole season and experienced everything.
'It would be unfortunate, but I'm positive that it won't be the case.'
