Nantes to deny PSG’s request to postpone Ligue 1 game sandwiched between Champions League quarter-finals against Aston Villa | OneFootball

Nantes are set to deny PSG’s request to postpone the Ligue 1 game set to pit Antoine Kombouaré’s Canaris against the Ligue 1 leaders on Saturday, April 13, according to Ouest-France. The outlet understands that Luis Enrique’s Les Parisiens have requested that their Ligue 1 game at La Beaujoire be postponed to allow them a maximum recovery period between their Champions League quarter-finals ties against Aston Villa FC. PSG will host Unai Emery’s Villains at Paris’ Parc des Princes on Wednesday, April 9, before the return leg at Villa Park on Tuesday, April 15.

Ouest-France understands that PSG want their away game at Nantes to be postponed a week after the Champions League quarter-finals’ return leg. Nantes are expected to deny them this in front of the Ligue’s board as it would mean the relegation-fighting Canaris would play three Ligue 1 games – against Rennes, PSG, and Toulouse – in a week.

As for Aston Villa, they will play Southampton in the Premier League matchweek sandwiched between their Champions League quarter-finals against PSG.
