"Given the incidents that happened at the Olympique de Marseille training centre this afternoon, the OM-Stade Rennais match (Round 22 of Ligue 1 Uber Eats) has been postponed to a later date," Ligue 1 said in an official statement

RMC Sport noted fans were protesting club officials. 

Marseille manager Andre Villas-Boas, who has been with the team since May 2019, recently said he is likely to leave the club at the conclusion of the Ligue 1 season. 

Marseille are currently in seventh place with a 9-5-6 record through 20 matches this Ligue 1 season. OM is also coming off a last-place finish and elimination in Group C of the 2020-21 UEFA Champions League season.
