The leadership of Marseilles decided to temporarily remove the left defender Patrice Evra, who struck a fan of "Provencal".

Before the match of the Europa League against Vitoria Guimaraes defender Marcel Patrice Evra kicked in the face of a fan of the French club.

Later, Marcel began an internal investigation to sort out the incident, and now his first results.

According to the official website of the club, Evra was suspended for an indefinite period and an interview will be held, after which a decision will be made on disciplinary punishment.

In addition, Marcel notes "unacceptable behavior on the part of several provocateurs who with hatred attacked the player during the warm-up".

Nevertheless, according to the statement, "Patrice Evra, as a professional and experienced player, did not have the right to react in such an inappropriate way".

"The club will continue to investigate using all legal means against individuals who, under the guise of their passion for Marseille, endanger the reputation of the club, running out onto the pitch and insulting the player instead of supporting him".
