Malta starlet Haley Bugeja and her Sassuolo side will be involved in a high-profile encounter in the quarter-finals of the Coppa Italia Femminile after they were drawn against Milan.
Sassuolo topped their first round group ahead of fellow Serie A sides Napoli and Pontedera, of Serie B with Bugeja making a camero appearance against the Partenopei.
The Rossonere will host the first leg on January 30 or January 31 while the second leg is scheduled for February 13 or 14.
Bugeja has already faced Milan in the Italian top-flight, with Maurizio Ganz’s side emerging 2-0 winners.
Meanwhile, holders Juventus will face Empoli Ladies who are coached by Alessandro Spugna, former coach of Nicole Sciberras at the Bianconere last season.
Florentia will face Roma, both former teams of Malta international defender Emma Lipman while Fiorentina were drawn against Inter.
