Lens open to postponement to aid PSG’s Liverpool preparations | OneFootball

RC Lens are “not totally closed” to postponing their match against Paris Saint-Germain in April, according to a report from RMC Sport.

PSG advanced to the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League at the expense of Chelsea earlier this week. Unlike the Blues, PSG did not play over the weekend, with their game against FC Nantes being postponed. Les Canaris and the LFP both agreed to the postponement. 

However, it was thought that there would not be such a postponement in order to aid PSG’s quarter-final preparations. Luis Enrique’s side will face Liverpool, firstly at the Parc des Princes on 8th April and then at Anfield on 14th April. In between those two games, Les Parisiens will face Lens, who are just one point behind the reigning champions, even if Luis Enrique’s side have a game in hand.

Lens manager Pierre Sage previously said that it was “too late” to postpone the PSG game. “I don’t think that PSG need that to be competitive against us,” he added. 

However, RMC Sport now understands that Lens are “not totally closed to the idea” if it “makes sense” for Les Sang et Or to postpone.
