Paris Saint-Germain’s French Ligue 1 game postponed 

Paris: French Ligue 1 game between Strasbourg and defending champions Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), scheduled to be played on Saturday, has been postponed due to the concerns over coronavirus, the French Football League (LFP) has confirmed.

"Following an order from the Bas-Rhin authorities concerning the spread of the coronavirus, the meeting is postponed," the LFP said in a statement, reports Xinhua news agency.

The French champions were scheduled to travel to Alsace to face Strasbourg on Saturday evening, but the local authorities have called off the match due to the rapid growing spread of the deadly virus in the region.

"The arrival of 26,000 at the Stade de la Meinau, a quarter of which would come from the Haut-Rhin region, is likely to promote the spread of COVID-19," the local authorities said in a statement. IANS
