PSG was supposed to face the struggling Nantes on the weekend of March 13-15, between the first leg against Chelsea on March 11 and the return match at Stamford Bridge on March 17. Liam Rosenior's Chelsea will play a tough Premier League match against Newcastle three days before the return leg.

“At the request of Paris Saint-Germain, in order to better prepare for their home and away clash against Chelsea… the LFP board, in agreement with Nantes, decided that the Paris Saint-Germain-Nantes match will be played in the week of April 20,” the French league said in a statement on Saturday. “The exact date and time of the match will be determined later.”

PSG also successfully requested the postponement of a Ligue 1 match against Nantes last season, between the two matches of their Champions League quarter-final victory over Aston Villa.
