Patrice Evra to miss France friendlies

Patrice Evra will miss France's upcoming friendlies following the death of one of his brothers.

Patrice Evra will miss France's friendlies against the USA and Belgium following the death of one of his brothers.

The death occurred just before Manchester United's 6-1 derby defeat to Manchester City, but Evra has played on for the Red Devils.

He will take the international break off to spend time with his grieving family.

"He needs a rest," said France coach Laurent Blanc.

"He is affected by a family drama which will prevent him from being with us."

Evra's brother, 42, passed away from a heart attack.
