Chelsea have a date for the appeal against their two window transfer ban.

The Daily Mail says the case will be heard on November 20 at the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

CAS announced the hearing date on Monday, with a verdict due before the January transfer window opens.

Chelsea have already served half of its one-year ban on registering new players and given the club did not seek to freeze the FIFA sanction, they have been preparing the appeal to CAS.

FIFA's disciplinary and appeal committees have said Chelsea violated 150 rules protecting minors from trafficking. Those cases involved about 70 players.

Chelsea was also judged to have broken rules prohibiting third-party influence on players. FIFA imposed a fine of 600,000 Swiss francs (£470,000).

The club has denied wrongdoing.
