Arsenal’s Europa League match against PSV Eindhoven on Thursday has been postponed with police resources in London stretched in the wake of the Queen’s death last week.

UEFA confirmed on Monday that the tie would not now be played and that a new date for the match would be communicated in due course.

European football’s governing body said the postponement was due “to the severe limitations on police resources and organizational issues.

“These are related to the ongoing events surrounding the national mourning for Queen Elizabeth II.”

Chelsea’s home UEFA Champions League match against Red Bull Salzburg on Wednesday will go ahead as planned, while the midweek English Football League programme is unaffected.

EFL had earlier said its teams would return to action on Tuesday.

The league’s weekend programme was postponed as a mark of respect but the midweek matches scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday are set to go ahead.

Tributes are to be paid to the Queen at games around the country.
