Rangers travel to Germany.
Wolves boss
Nuno Espirito Santo refused to be drawn on his side's possible opponents as he
prepares for a Premier League game against Everton on Sunday.
"There
are so many 'ifs'. It can be this, it can be that, so it's very difficult for
me to answer and make a proper evaluation because so many things can
happen," he said.
"Honestly,
I don't even know what to say because I haven't thought about it. I'm only
focused now on Everton, sorry."
Two last-16
ties - Inter Milan v Getafe and Sevilla v Roma - will be be played as one-off
matches in Germany after the coronavirus outbreak in Italy and Spain in March
resulted in both first legs being called off.
The final
three rounds, which will also see all ties played as one-off matches, will then
be held in Germany at the home grounds of Duisburg, Fortuna Dusseldorf, Schalke
and Cologne.
The latter
venue will host the final, which has been moved from Gdansk in Poland, on 21
August.
