Police have carried out a controlled explosion outside the France national team hotel, where a suspicious package was found.

Police cleared the area when the bag was found. A loud bang was then heard at 17:38 CET time, believed to be a controlled explosion.

Sky Sports journalist Kaveh Solhekol was at the scene and provided updates as the events unfolded.

Fortunately, the situation was swiftly dealt with and normality has resumed in the area surrounding the French hotel.

There are reports that the bomb threat was another hoax and the bag that was safely blown up contained clothes and not much else...

Here's hoping that events run smoothly for tonight's game, and that it's the events on the pitch that we are all talking about.
