Barnsley's League One matches in the September/October international break, including a Yorkshire derby, have been postponed.

The Reds were ue to host Bradford City on September 26, and to play at Milton Keynes Dons seven days later.

But will Tyrese Noslin called up by Curacao, and more call-ups set to be announced, the Reds have taken the option of calling both matches off.

Clubs can call off games which fall in official international windows when they have three or more players called up. The rule is not restricted to senior internationals, although the players do have to be genuine first-teamers.

The rule does not apply to Football League Trophy games, so the group matches away to Leeds United Under-21s (September 22) and at home to Fleetwood Town (October 6) will go ahead.

New dates for the rearranged league matches have still to be decided.

In previous years, there have been three international breaks in the first half of the season, in September, October and November. This year the decision has been taken to combine the first two in a three-, as opposed to two-week break, to help the rhythm of the club campaign.

Premier League and Championship games are called off as a matter of course.

All five of Yorkshire's League One clubs have now seen their September 26 games postponed.
