Just been checking the fixtures for Saturday on the BBC website and saw this;

Oldham Athletic v Walsall
Match postponed - Insufficient Players

Anyone know what this is about?

Are you new to football?

Walsall have had 5 players kidnapped and held to ransom by IS

Or

When teams at this level have three players called up for their country they can postpone games.

It will be for international call ups, however the term ‘insufficient players’ is quite misleading. There are enough players, they just aren’t the players the team wants in the side.

Thanks for the clarification.
No disrepect to the teams, but the thought that either of them could have 3+ players who could be called up for their national team just did not enter my thinking. Agree the term ‘insufficient players’ is quite misleading.
