ZURICH– 10 November 2017: Olympique Marseille full back Patrice Evra has been banned from European club football for the rest of the season, UEFA said on Friday, and is leaving the Ligue 1 club by mutual consent.

Former France international Evra, named as a substitute, was sent off before kickoff in the match at Portugal's Vitoria Guimaraes after he appeared to aim a kick at a fan at the side of the pitch during the warm-up.

The 36-year-old has been suspended from all UEFA club competition matches until June 30.

He is leaving Marseille, the club said in a statement on their website (www.om.net)
