Manchester United were held to a draw by FC Rostov in the first leg of their Europa League last-16 tie in Russia.
United grabbed a vital away goal through Henrikh Mkhitaryan's close-range finish following excellent work by Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho criticised the pitch for his side's Europa League match 1-1 draw against Russian side FC Rostov on Thursday.
Rostov, fifth in the Russian Premier League, played at the Olimp-2 which was built in 1930 and has a capacity of just over 15,000.
Ahead of the last-16, first leg tie, Mourinho said: "It's hard for me to believe we are going to play on that field - if you can call it a field.
"I don't know which team to play."
Uefa told BBC Sport the pitch "may not be in perfect condition, but has been deemed playable" following a pitch inspection on Wednesday.
"The match will go ahead as scheduled," a spokesperson added.
Mourinho drew comparisons with the quagmire that saw United's pre-season friendly against Manchester City in Beijing called off.
"In a very similar pitch in the summer in China, we and Manchester City decided not to play. But it looks like we have to play."
The Portuguese manager says the pitch could affect his team selection. Armenian midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan is available after missing two games with a hamstring injury, but now Mourinho does not know whether to risk him.
