NYON, Switzerland (AP) - Dropped into Europa League qualifying rounds by AC Milan's reprieve, Atalanta has been drawn against an opponent in Israel or Iceland if it first beats Sarajevo.

Atalanta was in the group stage until Milan's win at the Court of Arbitration for Sport on Friday overturned an expulsion by UEFA for breaking financial monitoring rules.

Milan regained its group-stage entry, leaving Atalanta in Monday's draw for the third qualifying round next month against Hapoel Haifa or FH Hafnarfjordur.

The draw was made before the two-leg second qualifying round games are played this week and next.

Europa League specialist Sevilla would take on Zalgiris Vilnius or Vaduz if it beats Ujpest.

Also, Istanbul Basaksehir meets Aberdeen or Burnley; Leipzig or Hacken play U Craiova; and Gornik Zabrze or Trencin face Feyenoord.
