Nottingham Forest have asked Uefa for clarity after expressing their concerns over Crystal Palace's Europa League place.
The Eagles won the FA Cup to qualify for Europe for the first time in their history, but Uefa must decide if they have breached its multi-club ownership rules.
Uefa's final ruling will centre on American businessman John Textor, owner of Eagle Football - which holds a 43% stake in Palace.
Eagle Football also owns a 77% stake in French side Lyon, who - like Palace - have qualified for next season's Europa League.
Uefa's rules state "no individual or legal entity" can hold a majority of shareholder voting rights at two clubs in the same European tournament.
If a ruling is made against Palace and Lyon, given the French side finished sixth in Ligue 1 they get priority over Palace, who ended 12th in the Premier League.
Forest finished seventh in the Premier League, earning a Europa Conference League play-off spot, but stand to gain if Palace are unable to compete in Europe and could be lifted to the Europa League.
Sources have told BBC Sport they have issued their reservations to Uefa.
