Orestis Karnezis’ Greece have been drawn against Croatia in the play-offs for the 2018 World Cup.
The Watford stopper, who is yet to feature for the Hornets on loan in the summer, helped his country to a second place finish in group H with wins against Cyprus and Gibraltar earlier this month.
The first leg of the play-off will take place in Croatia between November 9 and 11, with the return fixture being played between November 12 and 14.
Meanwhile Craig Cathcart’s hopes of playing in Russia next summer hinge on a meeting with Switzerland.
The defender is currently injured, but will be hopeful his countrymen can come through the clash, which sees them play at home first.
