Soccer-Indonesian League scheduled to resume but not in East Java

JAKARTA, April 24 (Reuters) - The Indonesian Super League is scheduled to restart on Saturday following a two week suspension but no matches will be played in East Java after the government asked police not to sanction games, local media reported.

The directive was issued via the national police but so far only clubs in East Java had been made aware, leaving the majority of the 18 teams in the dark about whether they will resume action over the weekend.

"All league matches in East Java would also be prohibited," Gresik United's secretary Hendri Febry was quoted as saying by the Bolapop sports website after saying the league leader's fixture against PSM on Sunday afternoon was also cancelled.
