Manchester City will learn tomorrow whether their appeal against a two-year ban from European club competitions has been successful.

City appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) after Uefa's Club Financial Control Body (CFCB) issued the ban in February.

The CFCB ruled the club had committed "serious breaches" of Uefa's Financial Fair Play (FFP) regulations between 2012 and 2016. They were also fined 30m euros.

City immediately signaled their intention to appeal to CAS. '

They believe the CFCB was not independent and ended up being distrustful.

They are adamant that what they consider an independent judiciary will clear them.

"I have a lot of confidence and trust with the people that we will be allowed to play the Champions League because we want to be on the field during these years."
