Inter Milan call off England tour
Inter Milan have cancelled their four game pre-season tour of England because of safety fears in the wake of the London bombings. The Italian club were due to play Portsmouth, Leicester, Norwich and Crystal Palace in July.
"Football takes a step back because of increasing serious events which touch the sensitivity of everyone," said a statement on the Inter website.
"For this reason, and given the situation, we have decided to cancel."
The Serie A outfit added they did not want to: "...add to the activities of the emergency forces there, who are already very busy at this time."
Leicester have already stated fans who have bought tickets for the games will be refunded.
Inter coach Roberto Mancini and club president had insisted on Friday that the tour would go ahead.
Mancini had stated that only one of Inter's matches - at Palace - was in London but the continuing events in the English capital have forced Inter into a change of mind.
