Marseille release official team photo for 2017/18 season but it includes Patrice Evra who has since been released by the Ligue 1 club
- Marseille released their official team photo for this season on Sunday afternoon
- The photo includes full back Patrice Evra who is sat on the front row
- That is despite the full back having had his contract terminated by the club
- Evra is also banned from European club football until the end of June 2018
Marseille have released their official team photograph for the 2017/18 - awkwardly it features Patrice Evra who is no longer at the club.
The Ligue 1 club tweeted the photo on Sunday. It included players such as Dimitri Payet, Steve Mandanda, Luiz Gustavo and, unfortunately, Evra.
The former Manchester United full back, who appears second from right on the front row, had his contract terminated by Marseille last week after he aimed a kung-fu kick at a fan's head before a Europa League match earlier this month.

'And here it is! Your official 2017/18 #OM first team photo,' the club's official Twitter account tweeted.
The French club confirmed their decision 20 minutes after UEFA revealed the 36-year-old left back has been banned from European club football until the end of June 2018 and fined €10,000 (£8,829).
Evra will still be able to play domestic matches during his seven-month suspension so it is unclear whether this will mean the end of his career.

He clashed with supporters before the game against Vitoria Guimaraes in Portugal. After being subjected to jeers during the warm-up, the Frenchman went to confront the culprits.
An explosive pitch-side brawl ensued, with his kick reminiscent of Eric Cantona's on a Crystal Palace fan in 1995. Evra was led away by team-mates but was then sent off by the referee before UEFA began an investigation.
Frank McCourt, Marseille's American owner, later said Evra's actions were 'unacceptable' and a statement on Friday confirmed the player had left the club.
