UEFA is yet to make a statement concerning how Fenerbahce will be replaced in Thursday's d

Just hearing Liverpool could be in the Champions League as a result of Fenerbahce being expelled. When a team is expelled UEFA may give the place to the team with the highest co-efficient not currently in Europe. However - no nation can have more than four teams in the Champions League so all may rest on Arsenal losing? Trying to get confirmation.

I reckon we'll soon find out that this rule only applies before the qualifying stages. They'll do something with the qualifiers. Cancel Arsenal's game tonight & let them both through?

 

That would be ideal. if its final decision to kick them out....loser of Udinese and Arsenal should get that spot. Spanish and German fourth team already made it. After tonight either Italian or English will make it.....only fair loser gets it
