From the horse’s mouth, uefa.com, below are some details on how the imminent Europa League draw works:

• The 32 clubs have been seeded into four groups of eight in accordance with the club coefficient rankings.

The Newcastle midfielder Matty Longstaff is close to joining Scottish Premiership outfit Aberdeen on loan, head coach Steve Bruce has confirmed. The 21-year-old found his chances at St James’ Park limited last season during which a contract wrangle and injuries hampered his progress. Speaking on Friday morning, Bruce said: “It’s happened very, very quickly over the last couple of days.

Richarlison’s first Tottenham goals punish Marseille for Mbemba’s red card

By -
There was the obligatory pre-match footage of Lucas Moura’s winner at Ajax and then the declaration on the big screen at Tottenham’s magnificent stadium, one that is built to stage these kind of Champions League nights. “We’re back.” For so long, it appeared that the grand return after a two-season absence would fall flat, even when Marseille were reduced to ten men in the 47th minute following Chancel Mbemba’s last-man foul on Son Heung-min.
