UEFA has rescheduled the Champions League game between Paris Saint-Germain and Istanbul Basaksehir, after it was suspended on Tuesday night.
The match was abandoned after players from both sides walked off the pitch, alleging a match official used a racial slur towards the Turkish club’s assistant coach.
Basaksehir players claimed fourth official, Sebastian Coltescu from Romania, had used a racist term against assistant coach, Pierre Webo, before he was sent off.
Match referee, Ovidiu Hategan of Romania had shown Webo the red card.
UEFA has now said the game will be played 5.55pm on Wednesday with new officials.
The football governing body has also opened an investigation into the incident.
A statement read: “Following an alleged incident involving the fourth official, the match was temporarily suspended.
“After consultation with both teams, it was agreed that the match would restart with a different fourth official.
“UEFA will thoroughly investigate the matter and further communication will be made in due course.”
