Michel Platini remains suspended from FIFA after CAS ruling

Michel Platini's 90-day suspension from FIFA remains in place, following a ruling from the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

The ruling however also ordered FIFA not to extend the suspension beyond it's current run-out date of 5 January.

The Frenchman, 60, had lodged an appeal with CAS to lift the suspension but the court upheld the sanction imposed by FIFA's ethics committee.

That same committee is to hear a disciplinary case against the Frenchman next week over a £1.3m payment he received in 2011 from FIFA, signed off by the world governing body's president Sepp Blatter.

Platini insists payment was owed from an oral agreement he made with Blatter when he started working as FIFA's technical advisor in 1998.

Friday's decision means Platini will not be able to attend Saturday's draw for Euro 2016, which takes place in his home country.

FIFA's ethics committee hearing next week could impose lifetime bans on both Platini and Blatter if corruption is proved, and shorter bans for lesser offences.

Both Blatter and Platini deny any wrongdoing.

In a statement the Frenchman's lawyer Thibaud d'Ales said: "Michel Platini notes with satisfaction that CAS partially granted his request when it demanded that FIFA not extend his ban. In substance, he is confident that his case is solid."

Blatter announced in June that he would stand down as FIFA president when fresh elections are held, on February 26 next year, in the wake of corruption inquiries being instigated by both the US Department of Justice and the Swiss authorities into the organisation's activities.

Issa Hayatou is now the acting president of football's world governing body because of the provisional suspension imposed on Blatter.

Platini had initially been favourite to succeed Blatter as president prior to his suspension, which has prevented him from taking part in any campaigning for the most powerful job in football.
