The Football Association has confirmed that Tuesday's international friendly between England and France will still go ahead at Wembley after Friday night's terror attacks in Paris.
At least 127 were killed during last night's coordinated attack across the French capital, which took place while France and Germany were playing each other at the Stade de France in the North of the city.
Three people died just outside the stadium as suicide bombers detonated close to Gate J of the national stadium in one of six separate attacks for which Islamic State have claimed responsibility.
It was initially thought that Tuesday's match would be called off after three days of national mourning, but the French Football Federation said earlier this afternoon that they would travel to London to face England.
The FA has also confirmed the news and chairman Greg Dyke released a statement on the Association's website.
"Our thoughts and sincere condolences are with the city of Paris after these terrible atrocities," Dyke said. "On behalf of the FA, I want to express our sorrow and send our deepest sympathies to the family and friends of those who have lost their lives.
"After consulting this morning with the French Football Federation and the British Government, we have decided together that the match between our two countries at Wembley Stadium on Tuesday night should go ahead.
"We will use the opportunity to pay our respects to all affected and also to express our solidarity with the people of France."
According to the latest reports, 300 people are being treated in Paris hospitals, 80 of whom remain in a state of "absolute emergency", with a further 177 in a state of "relative emergency".
