Lyon's trip to Toulouse on Saturday has been postponed following advice from regional police.

The Prefecture de Haute-Garonne called for the Ligue 1 match to be called off in the wake of protests in Toulouse.

According to officials, 57 people, including 48 police officers, were wounded on December 1 after clashes with what they described as "violent demonstrators".

Sixteen people were arrested, four of whom were detained after two shops were looted in the city centre.

The decision comes after Paris Saint-Germain's match at home to Montpellier was also cancelled amid continued unrest in the French capital.
