Gianni Infantino is back on the stage, even receiving a round of applause as he walked in. 

The only teams that will be kept apart are those from Russia and Ukraine because of the conflict there. That means Zenit will not be paired with Dynamo Kyiv or Dnipro. 

The Europa League theme tune is playing so we shouldn’t be too far away from the main draw now. 

A reminder that this season’s Europa League final will be held in Warsaw, Poland on May 27. 

The total wipeout of English clubs from European competition this week has led to another feverish debate about where our game stands in relation to our continental counterparts.

But before we get too down about things, there is still one Englishman standing in Europe this season.

Manchester City may have crashed out to Barcelona but their on-loan defender Micah Richards is still eyeing European glory with Italian side Fiorentina.

We’ve had the Champions League draw and next up in Nyon we will discover who’s playing who in the last eight of the UEFA Europa League. 

The remaining sides are Dynamo Kyiv, Fiorentina, Napoli, Sevilla, Wolfsburg, Zenit St Petersburg, Club Brugge and Dnipro. 

Kyiv, as you may have seen, put paid to English hopes of silverware when they beat Everton last night. 

The first legs will be played on April 16 with the second legs seven days later on April 23. 

The draw will get started at about midday and we’ll have all the news for you first here.
