Crystal Palace will come a step closer to find out whether you can play in the Europa League of the next season, with Lyons appeal against her descent of Ligue 1 on Wednesday.

The hearing of the French club, which will be decisive for the decision of UEFA, whether Palace can compete in the Europa League, was brought forward after it is to take place at the end of this week, several sources BBC Sport.

The French football authorities downgraded Lyon due to their bad financial state in Ligue 2.

However, the association has taken against the decision, whereby the watchdog of French football should now decide whether the descent maintains or Lyon keeps a break by hand.

If Lyon maintains her Ligue -1 status, the French side would probably keep its place in the Europa League, possibly at the expense of the palace.

If your descent is confirmed, Lyon has agreed that the UEFA is excluded from the competition and remove the way for Palace to play in the competition.

The uncertainty about the European spot of Palace next season is based on a perceived violation of UEFA’s multi-club ownership rules.

Eagle Football Holdings – owned by the American businessman John Textor – is the focus of the case.

The company currently has one matters in Palace and Lyon, whereby the UEFA rules determine that clubs cannot participate in a certain influence of influence by the same person or the company in the same European competition.

Palace argues that textor has no decisive influence, but the UEFA still has to decide whether to accept the defense of the Premier League.

The government agency of European football delayed its decision on the case until the French authorities have made a decision on the status of the Lyon League.
