UEFA have given FIFA four weeks to decide the fate of their president Michel Platini

UEFA have given FIFA four weeks to decide the fate of their president Michel Platini after he was suspended for 90 days in association with a "disloyal" payment from FIFA chief Sepp Blatter.

 

An emergency meeting of the European football's executive committee met to try to find a way through the mess after UEFA refused to appoint an interim replacement.

After discussions at UEFA HQ in Nyon, a statement was released: "We support Michel Platini's right to a due process and a fair trial and to the opportunity to clear his name."
