All 23 France players will travel to London to face England in their friendly at Wembley on Tuesday after turning down the option to withdraw following the Paris attacks.

According to BBC Sports, French midfielder Lassana Diarra’s cousin was one of at least 129 people killed on Friday, while Antoine Griezmann’s sister escaped from the Bataclan theatre where 89 of those people died.

Both players were involved at the time in France’s friendly against Germany at a stadium, which was also targeted during the attack.

France is in three days of mourning.
