The cancellation of the tour has come days after a failed bomb attack on London. Only one match — the game against Crystal Palace — was to have been played in London.
Inter Milan confirmed in a statement that the attacks on London compelled the club to cancel their tour of England, saying that: "Football takes a step back because of increasing serious events which touch the sensitivity of everyone. For this reason, and given the situation, the club has decided to cancel the team's tour of England."
The cancelled matches
25 July against Leicester
27 July against Crystal Palace

31 July against Portsmouth
Responses
So far, the Leicester and Norwich websites have confirmed that tickets sold for the games against Inter will be refunded.
According to the Crystal Palace official website, officials at the club are "saddened and angered" at Inter's decision.
