Milan have been provisionally entered into next season's UEFA Champions League after Europe's governing body delayed a final decision until next week.
The Serie A giants were originally thrown out of the competition as part of the match-fixing scandal that has rocked Italian football.
The San Siro club's successful appeal against the verdict saw them reinstated into the competition at the third qualifying stage.
However, Uefa intervened and quickly set up an emergency panel to consider the Italian Football Federation's entries into the two European competitions next season.
A final verdict was expected on Thursday but Uefa have decided to delay the decision until August 2.
Milan will therefore enter Friday's third qualifying round draw in Nyon on a provisional basis pending the outcome of a further meeting next Wednesday.
"As far as the position of Milan is concerned, the panel took note of a report submitted by the Uefa chief disciplinary inspector on the question whether it would be appropriate, due to the particular circumstances, to admit Milan to the 2006-07 Uefa club competitions," Uefa said in a statement.
"Following this report, the emergency panel has decided to further examine whether to admit Milan to the 2006-07 Uefa club competitions.
"Milan and the FIGC will have the possibility to submit their observations in this respect to Uefa.
"The decision, which will be taken by August 2 is subject to appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport."

I find it absolutely disgusting that they are even considering Milan's presence in the competion.
