Officials are working with the sport's European body UEFA ahead of an expected decision later on Monday.

The suspension would cover all Russian national teams -- the women's side are due to play in UEFA's Euro 2022 competition in England in July.

It would also mean Russia would be unable to play their World Cup play-off fixture against Poland on 24 March and would therefore make the country unable to qualify for the finals in Qatar in November.

The Polish FA has said it will refuse to allow its national team to play against Russia following the invasion into Ukraine.

The Czech Republic and Sweden, who are in the same play-off 'path', have also ruled out facing Russia.

FIFA was criticised on Sunday after a statement that Russia could continue to play matches in neutral venues and only under the name 'Football Union of Russia'.

Although FIFA had warned the country could be excluded from competitions if the situation in Ukraine did not improve, the statement was widely criticised with the Polish FA saying the stance was "totally unacceptable".

England's FA said the national side would not play Russia "for the forseeable future" - a view that was backed up by a number of European federations.

Russia hosted the last World Cup in 2018 with the final held in Moscow - a match attended by President Vladimir Putin.
