The League Management Company (LMC) have postponed a Week 34 game between Sunshine Stars and Rangers earlier scheduled for Wednesday.

Sunshine Stars requested for a shift in date because of six of their players in the Super Eagles team scheduled to play against Burkina Faso in a return leg of the African Nations Championship (CHAN) qualifiers this weekend.

The LMC noted that it approved the request in line with Article B15.14 of the Framework and Rules of the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) which provides that a club with five players or more in the national team camp can apply for a postponement of its fixture.

A new date for the game will be announced before October 22.

Ikechukwu Ezenwa, Stephen Eze, Dayo Ojo, Prince Aggrey, Tunde Adeniji and Paul Onobi play for the Akure-based team but are all in the home-based Eagles that will take a 2-0 advantage to Burkina Faso in a CHAN qualifier second leg match.
