Crystal Palace’s appeal against their demotion to the Conference League has been rejected by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). The decision means Palace will play in the Conference League next season, while Nottingham Forest will compete in the Europa League.

Crystal Palace want to retain Eberechi Eze and Marc Guehi - who are targets for Tottenham and Liverpool respectively - until after the start of their Conference League campaign, which begins on Thursday against Fredrikstad. (Mirror)
