MANCHESTER, England (Reuters) - Manchester City's appeal against their two-year UEFA ban from European football is up in the air as the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Switzerland deals with the impact of the coronavirus.
City had hoped to have their hearing heard by early summer but that may be optimistic given the court in Lausanne has already postponed three hearings and has 16 cases already scheduled until May 18, with the City case not yet listed.
"When participants are located in high-risk regions, we are offering the possibility of using video or phone links or postponing to a later date." The club, who have denied wrongdoing, appealed the decision and last month their CEO Ferran Soriano said they wanted"an early resolution" and that the"best hope is that this will be finished before the beginning of the summer".
