Granada (Spain)
AC Milan (Italy)

LASK Linz (Austria)
Hapoel Be'er Sheva (Israel)
Rosenborg (Norway)
Apollon Limassol (Cyprus)
Rostov (Russia)
Reims (France)

Home game against Granada.

Feels like it was easier to get to the CL final than reaching the EL group stage.
Ffs why did Chelsea choke in the Fa Cup final?
Yes this is updated list. We cant play Milan so its good drawNot sure if your list is updated one...From what I understand from UEFA website, Group 1 to 3 seeded go against Group 1 to 3 unseeded. But we are in Group 4, where group 4 seeded goes against Group 4 unseeded.
By this, I believe our potential opponents are
Rostov (RUS), Maccabi Haifa (ISR), Willem II (NED), Rangers(SCO), Fehervar (HUN), FCSB (Rou), Reims (FRA), Slovam Liberec (CZE)
When we play Chelsea? I'm not convinced we'll put out a team with the aim of beating Orient tbh.Its not difficult . Its the fixture list and travel that makes this worse.
I have no idea how we are going to play Leyton Orient on Tuesday night and travel to North Macedonia and play on Thursday evening.
We got to probably split the groups. Same again next week when we play Chelsea
At least having Reguilon and Bale will be a big help for this run of games. We can probably split the squad 70/30 in favour of the Europa tie but we definitely can't afford to put out all the youngsters against Orient.Its not difficult . Its the fixture list and travel that makes this worse.

Considering Bale's likely fitness, something like this imo:
Orient squad:
Hart, Whiteman, Foyth, CCV, Tanganga, Sessegnon, Sissoko, Gedson, White, Clarke, Lamela, Bale + youngsters
HartEL squad:
JT -- Foyth -- CCV -- Sessegnon
Sissoko -- White
Gedson --- Lamela --- Clarke
Bale
Lloris, Gazzaniga, Doherty, Sanchez, Dier, Toby, Davies, Reguilon?, Hojbjerg, GLC, Winks, Ndombele, Lucas, Alli, Son, Bergwijn, Kane
Thankfully, the massive squad we have at this moment comes at a really good time, we can leave all those Orient squad players at home when we travel to North Macedonia and still have a very strong team in the EL.
At least they have a reason tbf whats ours lolthis wikipedia line about our next opponent made me chuckle:
"Being a club with a strong Albanian nationalist background, Shkëndija has rivalry with most of the Macedonian football clubs."
