Fifa’s ethics court is expected to ban Sepp Blatter and Michel Platini, the scandal-scarred football body’s most powerful leaders, today.

Banned former Asian Football Confederation president Mohamed Bin Hammam has failed in an attempt to get the Court of Arbitration for Sport to block the appointment of his replacement, the AFC has said.

Amos Adamu is to take his case to the Court of Arbitration for Sport after FIFA’s appeals committee upheld a three-year ban following the Sunday Times investigation into World Cup bidding.
