17 July 2009 14:34
Fulham boss Roy Hodgson could be set for a return to Finland after the draw for the third qualifying round of the Europa League was made in Nyon. The Cottagers, who will play in Europe for the first time in seven years, were drawn to play either Finnish side HJK Helsinki or Lithuanian outfit FK Vetra to open up the possibility of the former Finland manager returning to the Nordic country. HJK will be favoured to progress against Vetra, who they host in the second leg of their second qualifying round tie next week holding a1-0 advantage. New Aberdeen boss Mark McGhee will have to wait to discover the opposition he will face in his first competitive game in charge after the Dons were drawn against either Czech Republic club Sigma Olomouc or Fram, who currently sit eighth in the Icelandic league.
