Marseille, France (Sports Network) - Paris Saint-German's match at Marseille in France's Ligue 1 on Sunday was postponed because two players have the swine flu.

The league said Saturday the game would be played despite confirmation two PSG players had the swine flu, but on the recommendation of the league's medical staff, decided Sunday to postpone the match.
""I would like to apologize in the name of the LFP to the public, to the clubs, to the supporters and the TV broadcasters,"" French Ligue 1 President Frederic Thiriez said in a statement released on the league's website. ""It's clear that the players' health should be our main priority.""
The date of the rescheduled match has yet to be decided.
In games played Sunday, Moussa Sissoko and Andre-Pierre Gignac scored to lead Toulouse to a 2-0 win over Lens, and Daniel Niculae scored the game-winner in the 82nd to lead Auxerre to a 3-2 win over Lille.
