Arsenal, PSV Eindhoven clash postponed due to 'insufficient police personnel'
Audio By Vocalize
Thursday night's
UEFA Europa League fixture between Arsenal and PSV Eindhoven at the Emirates
Stadium has been postponed.
The Dutch club
confirmed the game will be pushed back because of 'insufficient police
personnel' in London due to the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II.
It raises the
possibility that further top-level matches to be played in the capital over the
weekend will also be called off for the same reason.
PSV said in
their statement that no date for the rearranged game had yet been confirmed.
The Queen's funeral will be held on Monday but the
weekend will see a number of other events as part of the nationwide 10 days of
mourning.
Police officers
from forces across the country will be drafted in to support the Metropolitan
Police with hundreds of thousands of people set to descend on London.
Other Premier
League games set to be staged in the city over the weekend include Chelsea vs
Liverpool and Brentford vs Arsenal on Sunday afternoon, plus Tottenham vs
Leicester City on Saturday evening.
