Marseille have
suspended defender Patrice Evra
after he aimed a kick at one of the club's supporters before Thursday's Europa
League tie at Vitoria Guimaraes. UEFA had confirmed earlier on Friday that it
had opened disciplinary proceedings against Evra following the incident
and the France international's club have now taken action.
Evra was confronted by a group
of supporters who had managed to get out of an area reserved for around 500
Marseille fans, who had travelled to the Estadio D. Afonso Henriques for the
game. The former Manchester United
left-back, named as a substitute for Marseille's fixture away to Vitoria,
lashed out at the fan in a heated confrontation prior to Thursday night's
match in Portugal.President of Marseille Jacques-Henri Eyraud met Patrice Evra to inform him of his lay-off with immediate effect and a summons to an interview prior to a possible disciplinary sanction.
On Friday, UEFA announced the
36-year-old would miss at least one match, with the organisation's disciplinary
body set to discuss his case at its next meeting on November 10.
