FA Cup winners Crystal Palace face anxious wait to discover Europa League fate

Crystal Palace face an anxious wait to discover if they can compete in the Europa League next season, with a decision on their fate not expected until late June, the PA news agency understands.

Palace held a meeting with UEFA officials last Tuesday to plead their case to be allowed to play in Europe for the first time.

Oliver Glasner’s team clinched a Europa League spot after they stunned Manchester City to win the FA Cup at Wembley last month – the first major trophy in the club’s history.
