France coach Didier Deschamps predicted Patrice Evra would pay a heavy price for kicking a Marseille fan last week and says the former national captain should have known better.
"I'm neither condemning him nor judging him," said Deschamps, for whom Evra played at Monaco and with France.
"Patrice is fully aware of the consequences.
"It's something that you just can't do and he knows that," said Deschamps about Marseille left-back Evra assaulting one of the club's fans ahead of a Europa League game against Vitoria Guimaraes in Portugal last Thursday.
"Decisions will follow from both Uefa and his club," Deschamps said.
The 36-year-old was suspended by Marseille on Friday after he was red carded for the assault which happened in the pre-match warm-up.
Marseille fans made their hostile feelings clear to Evra at the club's Velodrome stadium on Sunday unfurling banners against the player as the club thrashed Caen 5-0 in Ligue 1. © AFP
