The Court of Arbitration for Sport will disclose the fate of the suspended UEFA president, Michel Platini on Friday as regards an appeal against his provisional 90-day suspension from all football related activities.
CAS, who heard the appeal on Tuesday, will announce the outcome on their website.
Platini is serving the suspension in relation to a £1.35m payment he received from FIFA president Sepp Blatter in 2011 for work completed between 1998 and 2002, with FIFA's ethics committee recommending he receive a life ban from football.
The Frenchman insists everything about the payment - which was made three months before a FIFA presidential election in which Platini opted not to challenge Blatter - was properly handled.
Platini hopes a 23-page memo published by a French newspaper on Sunday will help clear him of corruption charges.
FIFA will hold an election on February 26 to find a replacement for Blatter, who is also currently suspended.
Platini, who has registered as a candidate but cannot run while he is banned, could take part if he is cleared in time. Skysports
