Paris Saint-Germain’s Ligue 1 match against Nantes next month has been delayed to give the Champions League holder more rest between the two legs of its last-16 tie with Chelsea.
PSG was due to face struggling Nantes on the weekend of March 13-15, between its first leg against Chelsea on March 11 and the return match at Stamford Bridge on March 17.
Liam Rosenior’s Chelsea will face a difficult Premier League match against Newcastle United three days before the second leg.
“At the request of Paris Saint-Germain, in order to best prepare for their two-legged tie against Chelsea, the LFP board of directors, in agreement with Nantes, have decided 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 had also successfully requested that a Ligue 1 game against Nantes be delayed last season, between the two legs of its Champions League quarterfinal victory over Aston Villa.
