MARSEILLE: The Ligue 1 match between Olympique de Marseille and Olympique Lyonnais has been postponed to December 6 after being postponed due to an attack on the Lyon bus, the French league (LFP) announced on Thursday.

On Sunday, the bus was pelted with rocks and beer bottles as the team headed to Marseille’s Velodrome Stadium, injuring coach Fabio Grosso and his assistant Raffaele Longo.

Grosso, a World Cup winner with Italy in 2006, suffered a facial injury that required a dozen stitches.

The LFP did specify the location of the rescheduled match.

Lyon is last in Ligue 1 with three problems after matches. Marseille is ninth with 12 problems.
