"The FFF has adopted the principle of an appeal if the decision of the FIFA appeal committee does not go Michel Platini’s way," a FFF spokesman told Reuters by telephone on Saturday.

The FFF is expecting the FIFA appeal committee decision within eight days.

“That’s the usual delay,” the spokesman said.
