Nottingham Forest have written to Uefa to raise concerns about Crystal Palace’s planned partaking in the Europa League next season, arguing their Premier League rivals could be in breach of multi-club ownership rules.

Forest stand to gain if Palace are not permitted to play in Europe next season because they would take the London club’s place in the Europa League. There is scope for a legal battle given Forest believe they have grounds to play in the competition. The Forest owner, Evangelos Marinakis, who also owns Greek champions Olympiakos, placed his shares into a blind trust to comply with Uefa rules in the event that Forest qualified for the Champions League.
