According to http://www.gctc.ru/main.php?id=3802 Luca Parmitano started his training in Star City.Are there any information to which flight he could be assigned?
During the annual press briefing on 18 January 2017, ESA Director General Jan Woerner confirmed that Luca has been assigned a second mission to the ISS in 2019.
29 May 2017ESA astronaut Alexander Gerst is returning to the International Space Station next year and today he revealed his mission name and logo: Horizons.

Unless it's changed recently, it's my understanding that crew rotation schedule requirements will still see Americans on Soyuz flights and also Russians on commercial seats, on a barter one-for-one arrangement.
