Barnet Football Club has announced the postponement of two upcoming Sky Bet League Two fixtures. The away game against Crawley Town, originally set for Saturday 26 September, and the home match against York City, scheduled for Saturday 3 October, will not proceed as planned.
The club confirmed the postponements are a result of at least three Barnet players being selected for international duty. This call-up meets the English Football League (EFL) criteria for fixture rescheduling. The criteria state that a player must have played a significant role in their club's matches, either starting or appearing before the 75th minute in 50% of the club's games to date, or in four of the previous five matches.
