England and France friendly set to go ahead on Tuesday

The soccer friendly between England and France will go ahead as planned in London on Tuesday following the deadly attacks in Paris, the French football federation (FFF) said on Saturday.

“As we speak the game is on, yes,” a spokesman for the FFF told sources on Saturday.

More than 120 people were killed in separate attacks in Paris and near the Stade de France just north of the French capital on Friday evening, where France were playing Germany.

France forward Antoine Griezmann has revealed his sister escaped safely from the terrorist attack on Paris' Bataclan Theatre.

At least 80 people were killed by gunfire and explosions at the concert venue, one of a number of attacks on the French capital.

Griezmann was playing for France at the time at the Stade de France, where an explosion could be heard nearby as three separate attacks reportedly left four people dead and many more injured.

After the match, the Atletico Madrid player’s focus was occupied by the well-being of his sister Maud, who was at the concert by the American rock band Eagles of Death Metal.

He wrote on his official Twitter feed: “My thoughts are with the victims of the attacks. God take care of my sister and the French people.”

Around three hours later, he wrote: “Thanks to God my sister was able to get out of the Bataclan. All my prayers are with the victims and their families. #ViveLaFrance.”
