Henderson: Looking forward to overturning the UEFA Europa League relegation decision, not wanting the FA Cup value to be depreciated

Crystal Palace goalkeeper Dean Henderson said he expects sports authorities to overturn the decision to relegate Crystal Palace from the Europa League.

Last month, UEFA ruled that Crystal Palace dropped from the UEFA Cup to the UEFA Union due to former boss John Tector's relationship with Lyon Club. Crystal Palace has appealed through the International Court of Arbitration for Sports in Lausanne and is expected to announce the ruling on Monday.

"Absolutely, 100 percent." Goalkeeper Henderson replied in an interview with Sky Sports News when asked if he was looking forward to a good result on Monday, "As players, we won the field, we expect the authorities to fulfill the honors we have won, and I think every neutral person will support us. At the same time, you don't want to belittle the value of the FA Cup. It's a tough game and you deserve the reward you deserve."
