Lancing’s league game this weekend is off – because they have too many players on international duty.
The Culver Road outfit were due to visit Three Bridges in Isthmian League south east.
But they have secured a postponement due to international call-ups.
Their midfielder Knory Scott and forward Luke Robinson are both with Bermuda while Charlie Gibson and Sam Bull are playing six-a-side for England at the World Minifootball Federation (WMF) U23 World Cup in Croatia.
Lancing chairman Barry Sutton told BBC Sport: "It's ridiculous for a club at this level.
"To have one person called up [Scott, last year] was something we celebrated, but to have four off in the same week is unheard of."
Lancing said: “The club would like to thank the Isthmian League for their understanding and club secretary John Rea for his work at short notice on this matter.”
