On Friday, Uefa executives will meet to decide whether Crystal Palace will be allowed to compete in the Europa League for the first time.
The Eagles won the FA Cup for the first time in their history, but Uefa must decide whether they broke the club’s multi-club ownership laws.
By Friday evening, the hearing’s outcome is anticipated to be announced.
Woody Johnson, the owner of the New York Jets’ 43% stake in Crystal Palace, announced on Monday that the deal, thought to be worth close to £190 million, has been “legally binding.”
Textor’s involvement at the club has led to Palace fearing losing their place in Europe.
Uefa has been looking into whether Palace broke the multi-club ownership regulations, which forbid linked clubs from competing in the same European competition.
Textor is a shareholder in French side Lyon, which also qualified for the Europa League.
Despite his shareholding in the club, Textor insists he has no significant influence over Palace.
