Sport's highest court will aim to decide if Franck Ribery can play
in the Champions League final at least four days before the match.
The Court of Arbitration for Sport said Monday it has
received Bayern Munich's appeal against Ribery's three-match ban
and should issue a ruling by May 18.
Bayern plays Inter Milan in the final on May 22 in Madrid.
Bayern is challenging UEFA's decision to ban Ribery for three
matches for his red-card foul on Lyon's Lisandro Lopez in the
semifinals first-leg match.
The German club wants CAS to overturn UEFA's sanction and
impose the standard one-match suspension for a sending off which
would make Ribery eligible for the final.
