Port Vale's League Two fixture away to Colchester United has been postponed due to international call-ups. The match, originally scheduled for Saturday, October 3, will be rearranged for a later date.

Colchester United confirmed the postponement this week. "We can confirm that our home match on Saturday 3rd October against Port Vale has been postponed," the club said. The decision was taken because Port Vale will be missing several players on international duty during the October window.

Keyrol Figueroa, Ben Waine, Liam Gordon and Tyreece Simpson are among the Vale players expected to be away with their respective national teams. All tickets and car park permits purchased for the original date will remain valid for the rearranged fixture. Supporters should keep an eye on the club's official channels for the new match details.

The postponement comes as Vale sit 22nd in League Two, having taken five points from their first six games. Their recent form reads WLLDD, with a 1-0 win over Exeter City last time out thanks to a George Byers penalty. The next scheduled fixture for the Valiants is an away trip to Rotherham on January 9.
