Manchester
City's Champions League group match at home to German side Borussia
Monchengladbach has been postponed because of adverse weather.
Heavy
rain, thunder and lightning hit Manchester on Tuesday evening and 15
minutes before kick-off it was announced the match was abandoned. In a statement, City said localised flooding led to a decision being made on "safety and security grounds".
A meeting will be held at 21:30 BST to decide when the match will be held.
According to the European governing body's rules, a rescheduled date must be agreed on between the two clubs, and the associations concerned, within two hours of the postponement.
Uefa's rules state the match must be played either the next day or "on a reserve date or other date set by the Uefa administration".
Unconfirmed reports suggest City's Group C opener with the Bundesliga side will be held on Wednesday.


Referee Bjorn Kuipers and officials inspected the surface at about 18.55 BST and a decision to postpone was communicated around 30 minutes later.
In Prestbury, Greater Manchester, 32.4mm of rain fell in an hour, which meteorologist Mark Wilson described as "pretty exceptional".

Cavani glanced PSG ahead after 42 seconds and should have had a
