England-France to go ahead as planned

Tuesday's international friendly between England and France will take place as scheduled, despite Friday's terrorist attacks in Paris.

The French Football Federation (FFF) has confirmed Tuesday's international friendly with England at Wembley Stadium will go ahead as planned.

There were doubts as to whether the match would take place following Friday's terrorist attacks in Paris, but both countries have now agreed to let the game take place as scheduled.

The latest figures from French officials report 128 people were killed and another 99 remain in critical condition after what appeared to be coordinated terror acts in the French capital, including three fatalities outside the Stade de France during France's international friendly against Germany.
