PARIS: The Ligue 1 match between Marseille and Lyon, canceled after the visiting team’s bus was attacked, has been rescheduled for December 6 at a venue to be decided, the French League (LFP) announced on Thursday. Lyon coach Fabio Grosso suffered cuts to his face when the bus was pelted with stones near Marseille’s Stade Velodrome on Sunday. Grosso’s face was left bloodied and his assistant Raffaele Longo was also injured after the incidents which led to the game being called off. The LFP said Wednesday, December 6 was “the first available date” for the two teams. It said it would “determine the venue for this match at a later date, pending further information from the public authorities enabling it to be held under optimum safety and security conditions for all its players and the public,” the LFP said in a statement. Lyon’s directors on Tuesday called for punishments and said that they wanted to play the match at a neutral venue because “the safety conditions for playing in Marseille have not been met.” Grosso required 12 stitches to the wounds on his face. The Marseille public prosecutor has opened three investigations. The first two concern the stoning of the bus and a similar incident involving a Lyon supporters’ bus.

BERLIN: Bayern Munich’s understaffed defense has been dealt another setback, with the club confirming on Thursday center-back Matthijs de Ligt will be missing “for the time being” with a knee injury. The club did not specify how long de Ligt would spend on the sidelines, saying he was “out for the time being” and “will be missing from FC Bayern in the next games.” Bayern travel to rivals Borussia Dortmund on Saturday. The Netherlands central defender injured his right knee as Bayern were eliminated 2-1 to third-division Saarbruecken in the German Cup on Wednesday night. De Ligt, who has just returned from an injury to the same knee, grabbed his leg and signalled immediately to the bench 19 minutes into the match, before being subbed out. Midfielder Joshua Kimmich moved to center-back, with Bayern having only one fit central defender in the squad. Bayern’s French center-back Dayot Upamecano has missed the club’s last four matches with a hamstring injury. Manager Thomas Tuchel confirmed after the match de Ligt’s injury was to the “same knee” and “was extremely painful.” Bayern took the lead through Thomas Mueller after just 16 minutes, but their third division opponents equalized in first-half injury time. With the scores locked at 1-1 and the game looking set to go to extra time, Saarbruecken’s Marcel Gaus scored in the sixth minute of injury time to win. The loss means 20-time German Cup winners Bayern have been eliminated in the second round in three of the past four years. Bayern sit second on the Bundesliga, two points ahead of Dortmund, and have not lost a clash between the two sides since 2018.
New Zealand have asked World Rugby to explain some of the officiating during their World Cup final defeat to South Africa, outgoing coach Ian Foster said.
The Israel-Hamas war is having an effect on the whole of the Americas. This week, the government in Bolivia announced it was cutting all diplomatic ties with Israel over what it called its "crimes against humanity" in the Gaza Strip. Chile, the country with the largest Palestinian population outside the Arab world, has recalled its ambassador to Israel in protest. And in Colombia, President Gustavo Petro also recalled his country's ambassador to Israel and threatened to completely cut ties with Tel Aviv. We take a closer look.
World number two Iga Swiatek defeated third-ranked Coco Gauff 6-0, 7-5 in a showdown of reigning Grand Slam champions on Wednesday in a group-stage match at the WTA Finals. Poland's 22-year-old Swiatek, the French Open winner and a four-time Grand Slam champion, took only 89 minutes to dispatch 19-year-old American Gauff, who won the US Open last month. "In the second set, obviously, it got more tight," Swiatek said. "I was happy I stayed focused. I had plenty of chances in her first service games to break back, but I knew somehow I would use one of those chances."
