September 12, (THEWILL) – Due to a shortage of police personnel, Thursday’s Europa League match between Arsenal and PSV Eindhoven has been postponed.

The passing of Queen Elizabeth II means that the United Kingdom has entered a period of mourning, and all games in England were cancelled over the weekend, with many travelling visitors anticipated to enter the nation soon, a shortage of police officers had led to Thursday night’s game being moved.

A statement to that effect reads: “UEFA today announced that the UEFA Europa League tie between Arsenal FC and PSV Eindhoven, originally to be played on Thursday, 15 September, has been postponed with a new date to be communicated in due course.

“This is due to the severe limitation on police resources and organisational issues related to the ongoing events surrounding the national mourning for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.”

Arsenal also issued a statement that read: “The postponement follows liaison between UEFA, the Metropolitan Police, and ourselves, after the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.”
