France, England to go ahead with Tuesday game in London

England's friendly against France will take place at Wembley Stadium just four days after the atrocities in Paris.

France will play its first game since the harrowing attacks in Paris in an emotionally charged friendly against England at Wembley on Tuesday.

The people of France are still coming to terms with Friday's events in which 129 people were killed and a further 99 left in a critical condition following a series of terror attacks across the city that shocked the world.

Among the casualties was a cousin of France midfielder Lassana Diarra , who confirmed the news via social media on Saturday.
