Marco Fassone believes the Court of Arbitration of Sport (CAS) ‘listened very carefully’ to Milan’s appeal ahead of its verdict on Friday.

Milan’s appeal to have their Europa League exclusion revoked was heard by CAS on Thursday, although Fassone’s club must wait until the following morning for the court to make its decision.

“Today’s been very intense,” the CEO told Sky Sport Italia.

“We’ve been here since 9:30 and there was ample time for all parties to be heard.

“The feeling is that they listened very carefully. We got really stuck into the details, so now the panel has all the elements to reach a verdict.

“Elliott? We tried to put together as much as we could in terms of legal support, and the presence of Franck Tuil certainly added to that

“His presence at a time like this is certainly significant. The verdict? We expect it to arrive tomorrow morning.”
