Lloris admits France doubts over England friendly

France did have concerns about playing Tuesday's friendly with England but the squad respects the FFF's decision, says captain Hugo Lloris.

Captain Hugo Lloris admits that he and his France teammates had reservations over Tuesday's friendly against England going ahead, but the squad respected the decision of the France Football Federation (FFF) to play the game.

The encounter at Wembley will mark the first time France has played since Friday's atrocities in Paris, in which 129 people were killed and a further 99 left critically injured as a result of a series of attacks in the French capital.
