<p>While the Marseille player was in action against Germany at the Stade de France, several shootings and suicide bombings took place around the French capital.</p>
<p>At least 129 people were killed and Diarra announced on Saturday evening that Diakite was among them.</p>
<p>The former Arsenal, Chelsea and Real Madrid player wrote: “Following the dramatic events yesterday in Paris and Saint Denis, it is with a heavy heart that I heard this news today.</p>
<p>“As you may have read, I was touched personally by the attacks. My cousin, Asta Diakite, was among the victims of one of the shootings yesterday, along with hundreds of other innocent French people. She was like a big sister to me.</p>
<p>“In this climate of terror, it is important for all of us who represent our country and its diversity to stay united against a horror which has no colour, no religion. Stand together for love, respect and peace.</p>
<p>“Thank you all for your messages, take care of yourselves and your loved ones, and may the victims rest in peace.”</p>
