France coach Didier Deschamps plans to contact Patrice Evra in the wake of his sacking by Marseille on Friday.
Evra became the first player to be sent off before kick-off in a Europa League match on Thursday when he appeared to aim a kick at the head of one of his own club's fans prior to a match against Vitoria Guimaraes.
A section of OM supporters held up a banner with the words "Evra get out" during its 5-0 win against Caen last weekend.

Evra started every match as France finished as runner-up at Euro 2016, and Deschamps said he would send the defender a private message rather than issue a public statement.
"The decisions that have been made, I'm not here to judge them," said Deschamps, who also coached Evra at Monaco between 2002 and 2005, after France defeated Wales 2-0 in a friendly on Friday.
"I will not go through you [the media] to give him a message. To give him a message I will do it directly, as I have always done.
"His situation is very complicated and I wouldn't wish anyone to be in this situation.
"But these actions have happened. They are there, they are heavy."
