CSKA Moscow's appeal over their three-game stadium ban for the racist behaviour of their fans will be heard by Uefa on 27 October, meaning Manchester City's crucial match against the Russian club will still take place behind closed doors on 21 October. When asked the date for CSKA's appeal, Uefa told the Guardian: "27 October. The match [with City] will be behind closed doors."
Uefa has also banned CSKA from selling tickets to supporters for the return fixture again City at the Etihad Stadium on 5 November and fined the club 200,000 (£157,000).
