England’s friendly against France will go ahead after Paris terror attacks

France is a country in mourning after terror attacks ripped through the heart of its capital city.

Explosions rang out just outside the Stade de France during Les Bleus friendly against Germany on Friday. This was the start of a deadly assault on the people of Paris which left 128 innocents dead and hundreds more wounded. France suspended all sporting events over the weekend in the Paris area in the aftermath of the killings. England's friendly match against France on Tuesday was thrown into doubt as the country comes to terms with the attacks. But now the French Football Federation has confirmed that it expects the fixture to go ahead as planned, unless players and coaches have any significant objections. https://twitter.com/mohamedbouhafsi/status/665505460498378752?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw https://twitter.com/Jon_LeGossip/status/665503702074150912?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw FFF president Noel Le Great said in a statement: "The French Football Federation shares the emotion that shakes the nation following the tragic events of Friday in Paris and around the Stade de France.
