The French Football Federation has rejected Patrice Evra's appeal and upheld the 5-match ban imposed on the defender.

The "Man Utd" footballer will have to miss national team matches due to his involvement in the riot that occurred during the World Cup.

Evra, who is the captain of the national team, is considered one of the instigators of misconduct.
