On Friday, the new season of the French men's league would have started. But already now the football league is forced to postpone the premiere meeting between Olympique Marseille and Saint Etienne, the French league federation announces.
This after Marseille reported four cases of covid-19 in the club.
The league announced that the decision had been made after France's national Covid commission said that "the virus was circulating in the squad".
The match will instead be played in mid-September.
The season starts instead on Saturday with two matches.
