Brest's Ligue 1 game at home to Strasbourg this weekend has been postponed due to stadium damage caused by Storm Ciaran, the French league (LFP) announced on Monday. 

Sunday's fixture will be rearranged for a later date after heavy rains and high winds hit the port city last week, notably damaging the roof of one stand in several places.

The Brittany club had already indicated on Friday that the match would not be able to ahead at their ground.

Storm Ciaran has claimed at least three lives in France and injured 47. As of Monday, 126,000 households remained without electricity after another storm, Domingos, passed over the west coast this weekend, which left at least eight injured.
