Everton defender Johnny Heitinga has no problem with the postponement of their Premier League opener at Tottenham.
The riots in London began in the Tottenham area and the damage to roads was such that Saturday's game at White Hart Lane had to be called off.
"Everybody was looking forward to the Premier League starting and it was disappointing that this game was also cancelled," Heitinga told evertonfc.com.
"Our league will start next week and we can only wait until the whistle goes.
"We are professionals and the most important thing is that everything is quiet and good in the city centres of England."
