Uefa rules Brighton, Aston Villa and AC Milan can take part in European competitions

Uefa says Aston Villa, Brighton and AC Milan can take part in European competitions this season after they made "significant changes" to comply with multi-club ownership rules.

Villa's owners have a stake in Vitoria Guimaraes and Brighton owner Tony Bloom is involved with Union Saint-Gilloise.

Milan and Toulouse are majority owned by RedBird Capital Partners.

Uefa made it's decision after investigating a "potential conflict with the multi-club ownership rule".

Brighton will be in the Europa League, while Union Saint-Gilloise are in the play-offs for the same competition.

Villa have qualified for the Europa Conference League, while Vitoria Guimaraes are in the second qualifying round for that competition.
