Arsenal have announced that their Europa League match against PSV Eindhoven on Thursday, September 15, has been postponed.
In a statement released on Monday, September 12, the club wrote, "the postponement follows liaison between UEFA, the Metropolitan Police and ourselves, after the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II." The match will need to be replayed, but fixture congestion could make it complicated to schedule.
The decision comes after immense speculation over police availability for matches this week, with forces being sent to London in order to combat millions of people arriving in the capital to pay their respects to the Queen ahead of her funeral on Monday, September 19.
