The French Football League have rescheduled the Ligue 1 clash between Marseille and Paris St Germain for Friday, November 20.

A statement from OM confirmed a decision was reached on a new date, with the original match postponed last weekend due to an outbreak of swine flu in the PSG camp.

Three players, including Ludovic Giuly and Mamadou Sakho, plus two members of the coaching staff were either confirmed to be suffering from the virus or had developed symptoms.

PSG and Marseille have arguably the fiercest rivalry in France and fans were injured in clashes in Marseille following the postponement.

French interior minister, Brice Hortefeux, said: "We have taken note of this new date and decided to set up new safety measures to cope with the additional risks posed by this game."
