Marseille defender Patrice Evra has been banned from matches in UEFA competitions until June 2018 after kicking one of his own supporters before a Europa League match.
Patrice Evra was shown a red card prior to Marseille’s Europa League clash with Vitoria Guimaraes after kicking a supporter.
The experienced defender was caught up in an ugly confrontation between players and fans prior to the continental encounter in Portugal.
During the warm-up, the Marseille squad approached the end of the stadium housing their away following.
