Bordeaux get fixture boost

-PA Sport

The Ligue 1 match between Bordeaux and Auxerre has been postponed in order to give the French champions more time to prepare for their Champions League clash against Olympiacos.


The Ligue de Football Professionnel (LFP) announced the decision following a meeting today, adding that it was "in the interest of French football".

Bordeaux were scheduled to host Auxerre on February 21 (AEDT), three days before the first leg of their last-16 clash in Greece.

No new date for the fixture has yet been announced.

Bordeaux, who are involved in both French cups, have a packed fixture list this month and were scheduled to play five matches in 13 days before today's decision.

Hiddink unlikely for England

Guus Hiddink's "strong personal relationship" with ousted captain John Terry could rule him out of contention to be the next England manager.
