Lassana Diarra arrives in London for England match just days after his cousin was killed in Paris terror attacks

Lassana Diarra arrived in London on Monday just days after it was confirmed his cousin was one of the victims of Friday’s terror attacks in Paris.

Asta Diakité, who Diarra described as ‘like a big sister to me’, was among the 129 killed in the city as terrorists with links to ISIS caused carnage.

The former Chelsea, Arsenal and Portsmouth midfielder was playing in a friendly against Germany as the drama, which included suicide bombers outside the Stade de France where the game was being played, unfolded.
