Diarra, Griezmann left out of France XI

Lassana Diarra and Antoine Griezmann - who both had relatives caught up in the terror attacks in Paris on Friday - have been left out of Didier Deschamps' starting XI for Tuesday's international friendly against England.

Diarra's cousin Asta Diakite was killed during the attacks, which targeted the Stade de France among several other locations, while Griezmann's sister survived the shootings at the Bataclan theatre, where 89 people lost their lives.
