Lloris: Stade de France return can restore normality

France is only focused on the match against Russia as it returns to the Stade de France for the first time since the Paris terror attacks.

Hugo Lloris hopes an aspect of normality returns when France plays its first match at the Stade de France since terror attacks in November.

The Paris venue was targeted by suicide bombers as part of multiple strikes across the French capital that killed 130 people while hosting France's friendly against Germany on Nov. 13.

Deputy head of the Paris headquarters for public order and road traffic Laurent Simonin confirmed snipers and specialist security teams will be on site when the national team faces Russia on Tuesday.
