Nottingham Forest have had their appeal against a four-point deduction rejected, the Premier League confirmed on Tuesday.
The club were hit with a four-point deduction in March after they were found to have breached Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR).

Forest said at the time they were extremely disappointed with the decision and appealed, but an independent commission has dismissed their protest.
That leaves Forest in a relegation battle — they are on 29 points, three points ahead of 18th-placed Luton. Both clubs have just two games remaining.
