According to RMC Sport, the final decision would normally be taken this Thursday. Several French media outlets mention a postponement for security reasons, due to demonstrations.
A postponement to Monday, at the same time as the Ballon d'Or?
According to L'Équipe, the match would be moved to Monday evening, at the same time as the Ballon d'Or ceremony. The Paris police would be pushing for the match to be played a day later, according to Voetbalprimeur, which relays information from L'Équipe. So Foot and 20 Minutes also mention this possibility, as does A Bola in Portugal.
Is the whole 8th round threatened?
But Football Club goes further: it is no longer just PSG-OL that would be threatened, but the entire 8th round of Ligue 1. The media outlet indicates that the round could experience a real upheaval. Lens, Marseille and Rennes, who are also concerned by this round, could see their matches postponed.
OL not yet informed
According to Foot Mercato, Olympique Lyonnais has not yet been informed of a possible postponement. At a press conference, Paulo Fonseca and Mads Bidstrup indicated that no information had been communicated to them on this subject. The Lyon club would therefore be waiting for official communication.
An imminent decision
Maxifoot, Onze Mondial and Foot National confirm that the match, initially scheduled for Sunday, could be postponed. The final decision, which could be announced on Thursday, will determine whether the match will be played on the scheduled date or on another date.
