Everton given tough Europa League draw

Everton have been provided with a testing draw on their return to the Europa League.

The Toffees, who were in pot three, will face French side Lille, Bundesliga outfit Wolfsburg and Russian club FC Krasnodar in the group stages.

Lille bowed out to Porto in the Champions League final qualifying round, Krasnodar overcome Real Sociedad in Europa League qualifying while Wolfsburg automatically progressed through to the main draw after their performances in Germany last year.

The first round of group fixtures take place on September 18.
