The Queen died aged 96 last week, leading to a series of postponements across different sports in Britain over the weekend, including premier league and English Football League (EFL) matches.
However, the EFL, which manages the three divisions below the Premier League, said matches would return as scheduled from Tuesday while the Premier League resumes this weekend.
Midweek Champions League matches in England are also taking place, but Scottish Rangers’ home game against Napoli on Tuesday has also been postponed to Wednesday for similar reasons.
