Germany’s players will wear black armbands during Wednesday’s friendly against Australia in honour of the victims of the Germanwings air crash. The plane, which was carrying 150 people, crashed in the French Alps on its way from Barcelona to Dusseldorf earlier today. There will also be a minute’s silence before kick-off in Kaiserslautern. “It’s had an impact on everyone and it overshadows everything,” said German FA president Wolfgang Niersbach. “As a football family, we owe it to the victims and their families to pay our respects.”
