It can theoretically close tomorrow but the path is very narrow and very unlikely. The CAT Thursday date to receive evidence is not relevant, that's only to prevent the CAT appeal to proceed as previously planned.
The next thing to wait for is the CMA dropping their interim order. If that happens tomorrow (again very unlikely but still in the realm of possibility) then MS could close (with the explicit consent of the CMA (consent is not required normally by the CMA but the ABK deal limit itself to not close over the CMA)) and have the CMA produce an initial enforcement order (IEO) to hold separate the businesses.
It's a lot for 1 business day so it might even be impossible even if all the party set their mind to it.
