We investigate transport properties of a trilayer made of a d-wave superconductor connected to two ferromagnetic electrodes. Using Keldysh formalism we show that crossed Andreev reflection and elastic cotunnelling exist also with d-wave superconductors. Their properties are controlled by the existence of zero-energy states due to the anisotropy of the d-wave pair potential.
