PSG-OL match may move to Monday over security demands
The PSG-OL Ligue 1 match may be postponed from Sunday evening at the Parc des Princes in Paris.
The Paris police prefecture is seeking the change because officers are needed for demonstrations and an NFL game at the Stade de France.
The demonstrations are expected in the capital this weekend, and the NFL game also requires extra security.
Monday evening is the likeliest new date, but the clubs have not yet been given a final decision.
That timing would overlap with the Ballon d'Or ceremony in London, which could make it harder for PSG players to attend.
The new date could affect PSG's schedule and players' plans, and the clubs are expected to learn the decision soon.
