Everton to face Ruzomberok or Brann in Europa League qualifying
Friday 14 July 2017 12:46, UK
Everton will play Ruzomberok (Slovakia) or Brann (Norway) in the Europa League third qualifying round.
The Toffees, who finished seventh in the Premier League last season, earned the chance to reach the European competition after sixth-placed Manchester United passed their spot down when they won the EFL Cup.
Ronald Koeman's side, with recent acquisition Wayne Rooney in their ranks, will face the two legs before their Premier League campaign kicks off, with all ties set to take place on Thursday, July 27 and August 3.
Aberdeen have been drawn to play Apollon Limassol (Cyprus) or Zaria Balti (Moldova) in their third-round tie, if they beat NK Siroki Brijeg (Bosnia and Herzegovina) in their second qualifying round match next week.
Irish side Shamrock Rovers will face either Kairat Almaty (Kazakhstan) or Skenderbeu (Albania) if they progress against Mlada Boleslav (Czech Republic) in the second qualifying round.
