This will undoubtedly be an emotional occasion.
Following the terrorist attacks that left 127 dead in Paris last night, there were reports France’s friendly with England on Tuesday would be cancelled.
However, it has emerged today that the Wembley fixture will now go ahead, with a spokesman for the French Football Federation saying: “As we speak the game is on, yes.”

I feel like the England friendly against France on Tuesday should just be a massive tribute to the victims of the Paris attacks
