Three more French league matches have been postponed at the request of authorities.

Saturday's match between Amiens and Angers, as well as Sunday's Brittany derby between Guingamp and Rennes, and Marseille's home game against Bordeaux will now be played at a later date.

The French FA says the reason for the cancellations is because police forces are being stretched.

Marseille's match is one of five Ligue 1 games at the weekend that has been postponed

Nice's home game against Saint-Etienne on Friday and Saturday's matches between Nantes and Montpellier, and Caen and Toulouse have also been postponed.


The league said the Caen match against Toulouse will be played on Tuesday.

Six matches were postponed last week amid security concerns about anti-government protests. 

Those six matches are rescheduled for January 15 and 16.
