The club confirmed in April that they would be heading to Italy and since then supporters have been waiting to hear of the fixtures the club could be playing whilst out there, and the news today is that one of them could be against the side that finished seventh in Serie A last season.

This could mean a visit to the impressive Marc Antonio Bentegodi Stadium in Verona that next season will be hosting UEFA Cup football for the first time in five years.

There are no details of the second game but the club have revealed that both games are likely to be played in the Verona area, the first on the Tuesday, 25th July and the second three days later on the Friday.
