Adelaide United are awaiting a verdict over whether they were in breach of regulations for fielding Cassio in last week's Asian Champions League qualifier.
The Brazilian featured in the club's clash against Indonesia's Persipura but there was a question mark hanging over his appearance.
Cassio was red carded in the club's final 2010 AFC Champions League appearance which usually means a player is suspended for the next match in the same competition.
If Cassio is deemed an ineligible player, Persipura could be handed a 3-0 win and lay claim to participating in the Champions League Group E alongside Uzebekistan's Bunyodkor, Japan's Gamba Osaka and Korea Republic's Pohang Steelers.
But Persipura would need to win the Court of Arbitration for Sport's hearing in March - on whether their standing in the Indonesian "rebel'' league qualifies them for the AFC Champions League. - http://www.foxsports.com.au/
