PAOK reinstated to UEFA Champions League

The Greek side were beaten by Metalist in third round of qualifying for this year's competition but following a UEFA Emergency Panel meeting they will now face Schalke in the play-off round.

The two sides will meet for the tie's first leg at the Veltins Arena on August 21.

Earlier on Wednesday, a disciplinary committee removed the Ukrainian side from this season's competition after they failed to comply with the governing body's rules surrounding match-fixing.

Metalist have the right to appeal UEFA's decision to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
