Evra is said to have abandoned Sandra Evra and their two kids between May 1, 2021 and September 28, 2023.

The 12-month sentence has, however, been suspended for two years, but the former France international has been ordered to pay his wife €4,000 for moral damages and €2,000 for legal costs.

Evra has launched an appeal against the decision, with his lawyer, Jerome Boursican, claiming “the facts are disputed” by his client.
