The Cottagers were seeded in Group 7 in the draw at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon and will play the winner of the previous round's fixture between FK Vėtra and HJK Helsinki.

They will play away on Thursday 30th July and entertain their opponents on Thursday 6th August.

Meanwhile, goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer says his preparation for the season ahead will not be harmed by not having had a proper break over the summer.

time off

In between Schwarzer's national commitments with Australia's successful World Cup qualifying campaign and the Cottagers' pre-season tour of his homeland, Schwarzer has had little scope for time off.

"I've had little bits and pieces of rest, here and there," he said.

"I feel really good and it's been nice to have a bit of time off and I'm going to have a little bit more time off now before I go back to the UK.

"I'll be back early next week and be ready to go and I'm excited about it."
