Paris Saint-Germain's weekend game against Montpellier has been called off due to the ongoing 'gilet jaune' protests currently underway in the French capital.
The match had been due to be played in PSG's Parc des Princes on Saturday afternoon but the game has now been postponed on the advice of French police.
"Following a request from the Prefecture of Police, the LFP has postponed the match between Paris Saint-Germain and Montpellier HSC," a statement reads.
More than 100 people are understood to have been injured in Paris in recent days, after citizens took to the streets to protest rising tax rates.
It is the largest civil unrest in the French capital in more than a decade. Paris Saint-Germain say that the fixture will be rescheduled at a later date.
