CAS decision on Sepp Blatter's six-year ban from football to be revealed on Monday

 CAS will rule on former FIFA president Sepp Blatter's six-year ban on Monday

The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) will rule on former FIFA president Sepp Blatter's six-year ban from football on Monday.

Blatter appeared at sport's highest tribunal in August to appeal against his ban for ethics violations.

The 80-year-old, who headed football's global governing body for 17 years from 1998 to 2015, was banned from all football-related activity last December along with ex-UEFA chief Michel Platini.

Blatter denies wrongdoing in authorising a $2m payment to Platini in 2011. They claimed it was uncontracted salary for former France midfielder Platini advising Blatter from 1999 to 2002.

 Blatter and Michel Platini were originally banned for eight years 

FIFA's ethics committee ruled it was a conflict of interest and banned both for eight years last December, but that was reduced to six years by a FIFA appeals panel in February, before Platini had his ban cut by a further two years by CAS in May.

The verdict from CAS on Blatter is expected at 2pm on Monday.
