UEFA has announced the draw for the last 16 of the Champions League will be redone at 2pm GMT.

European football's governing body confirmed an error occurred during the initial draw on Monday morning and, therefore, must be redrawn.

UEFA said in a statement: "Following a technical problem with the software of an external service provider that instructs the officials as to which teams are eligible to play each other, a material error occurred in the draw for the UEFA Champions League Round of 16.

"As a result of this, the draw has been declared void and will be entirely redone at 1500 CET."
