France captain Hugo Lloris says that Tuesday night's friendly will be a "great moment of solidarity" following Friday's terrorist attacks in Paris.

France captain Hugo Lloris has claimed that Tuesday evening's international friendly against England will be a "great moment of solidarity" following last week's terrorist attacks in Paris.

It has been confirmed that 129 people have died after terrorists struck in six separate locations in the French capital on Friday night.

Three suicide bombers blew themselves up outside of the Stade de France when Les Bleus were playing against Germany in a friendly.

"Tomorrow will be a great moment of solidarity," Lloris told reporters. "The last three days have been dramatic and I think we were in mourning together. We spent time in Clairefontaine together and I think the president made the best decision to play this game. It will be an opportunity to show character through that game and allow us to share this moment with all the English people.

"We've shared all our feelings and emotions amongst ourselves. It is a case of each individual to express themselves on the field and concentrate on the game from now on. There will be a lot of emotion from the players but we are in London and people here are respectful. It will be a great moment of solidarity.

"We have been together and talked together as a group, it has been a dramatic few days and very hard. We have been trying to keep focused and while at Clairefontaine trying to keep up with the news. We are now trying to focus our minds on doing the job on the field - to play for our country and play for the victims."

The words to the French national anthem 'La Marseillaise' will be screened at Wembley to encourage both sets of supporters to sing as a tribute to the victims of the tragedy before kickoff.
