The Swedish Champions dropped to the Europa League after being eliminated from the Champions League by Hungarian outfit Ferencvaros after a 2-0 defeat.
Chilufya is fit and ready to play while Emmanuel Banda is on the road to full fitness after being stretched out in the loss to Ferencvaros.
Europa was formed in 1925 and has been consistently qualifying for European Games since 2014 and only managed to get past the first round once in the 2016/17 season of the UEFA Europa League when they beat Armenian team FC Pjunik 3-2 in a two-legged tie before eventually being booted out in the second round by AIK 2-0 on aggregate.
This year the second round matches will be played as a once-off with extra time and Penalties all possible in an event of a draw. Djurgadens will be at home with the date and time yet to be finalized.
