Fixture Reversals

I've noticed that after a draw in made, UEFA sometimes reverses the fixture so that the team drawn second actually plays the 1st Leg at home. This can be done where teams share a stadium or are situated within 50km of each other.
How and where does UEFA publish these changes?

Clubs should get this info soon (I think they said at the Q3 draw on Monday, that this info would be given within 24 hours).
However on uefa.com this is not published as far as I know, so you have to wait untill the fixtures are listed to see if matches have been reversed.

And indeed this is usually only the case if 2 or more teams can't play at home on the same day because they use the same stadium, or if the city/region doesn't allow them to play at home on the same day. Sometimes however in these cases matches are also moved 1 or 2 days forward in stead of reversing the home and away order.

And in these cases it is always the club that qualified in a lower position in their league, which fixtures are reversed.

That pretty much confirms what I was thinking - Thanks for the reply
