The Greek league has postponed a league match between Larissa and Ergotelis following the death of Mexican striker Antonio De Nigris.
The 31-year-old Larissa player died Monday. Preliminary autopsy findings indicated heart problems but club officials say a conclusive report is not expected until next week.
The postponed match, delayed at Larissa's request, will instead be played on Dec. 2.
Larissa club spokesman Christos Tsoumaris says De Nigris' brother Alfonso is in the central Greek city to collect the body, which is expected to be flown to Mexico on Friday.
