 Nancy boys call off England tour in fear of "swine flu"

Nancy have cancelled their pre-season trip to England for health reasons.

The Lorraine outfit had scheduled to visit England at the start of August for friendly matches against West Brom and Crystal Palace, but have been put off following a number of outbreaks of swine flu in the country.

"The Nancy staff have judged it reasonable not to take the slightest risk a week before the start of the Ligue 1 championship and have preferred instead to arrange another match, against Auxerre on Saturday, August 1," read a Nancy statement.

Nancy had been due to play West Brom on August 1 and Palace the following day.
