French Ligue 1: Several top flight matches postponed due to violence

Due to security concerns regards the four weekends of violent anti-government protests in France, four Ligue 1 matches have been postponed, with another three rearranged.

It marks the second successive weekend that football matches are called off in France.

A minute’s silence will be held before the four games that will be played this weekend to honour the victims of the unrelated shooting in Strasbourg, wherein three people were killed, a fourth left brain dead and twelve others wounded.

Dijon vs PSG and Reims vs Strasbourg will go ahead this Saturday while Nimes vs Lille, Nice vs Saint Etienne and Lyon vs Monaco will hold on Sunday; with Caen against Toulouse slated for Tuesday.
