Paris Saint-Germain have had Saturday’s league clash with Dijon postponed due to the ongoing riots in France.
Protests, labelled 'gilet jaunes' demonstrations, have caused havoc across the country in recent weeks, particularly in Paris, with six Ligue 1 games having been postponed in matchweek 17.
And, with police resources needed to deal with more expected riots, half of the scheduled 10 fixtures set to take place in matchweek 18 have now been postponed.
PSG had their last outing against Montpellier put back to January 15, and the Ligue 1 leaders' encounter with Dijon will now also have to be rescheduled.
Four other Ligue 1 matches have been called off due to anticipated riots, including Marseille’s home tie with Bordeaux on Sunday evening.
