Paris Saint-Germain have announced they will wear a special shirt to commemorate the 129 people killed in the Paris terror attacks on Friday.

The reigning French champions will have the slogan 'Je Suis Paris' [I am Paris] printed underneath the club badge and Ici C'est Paris [here is Paris] on the inside neckline for the match against Lorient at the Stade Yves Allainmat.

The club are yet to state how long they will wear the message on their shirts.

The club will not be playing in front of any of their own support after Ligue 1 chiefs made the decision to ban all away fans from travelling to matches this weekend.

PSG forward Javier Pastore revealed earlier this week that two of his friends had died in the attacks.

"I have two friends who died in France, they lived three blocks from my house and they had gone to the concert," Pastore told Argentinean TV station Teleocho.

"I have to go back, I work there and I have a responsibility. It is going to be moving."
