Man City v Borussia Monchengladbach: Champions League game postponed

Manchester City's Champions League group match at home to German side Borussia Monchengladbach has been postponed because of adverse weather.

Heavy rain, thunder and lightning hit Manchester on Tuesday evening and 15 minutes before kick-off it was announced the match was abandoned.

In a statement, City said localised flooding led to a decision being made on "safety and security grounds".

A meeting will be held at 21:30 BST to decide when the match will be held.

According to the European governing body's rules, a rescheduled date must be agreed on between the two clubs, and the associations concerned, within two hours of the postponement.

Uefa's rules state the match must be played either the next day or "on a reserve date or other date set by the Uefa administration".

Unconfirmed reports suggest City's Group C opener with the Bundesliga side will be held on Wednesday.

Heavy rain saturated the pitch at the Etihad Stadium in the two hours before
