The legal case regarding Manchester City's possible Champions League ban will probably not be concluded until the end of the season.
Manchester City are determined to fight any potential ban over alleged financial breaches , which they continue to deny.
A decision on whether to ban the team will not be made until the end of the season, even though Uefa's investigation team recommends a ban.
However, before the five-judge court hearings began, City asked the arbitration tribunal to withdraw the case.
Manchester City have strongly denied all allegations against them, which came after theFootball Leaks, which the club has repeatedly dismissed as "illegal hacking and publication of emails".
City disputes Uefa's legal jurisdiction and claims it has nothing to answer for.
That hearing is not expected to be scheduled until early summer, possibly after the season is over, which could mean City will not know if they will be in the Champions League 2020-21.
