France's former captain Patrice Evra will appeal matches ban decided by the football federation disciplinary committee following World Cup fiasco, local Medias reported on Tuesday.

"Patrice Evra has decided to appeal to any grievance which may be done individually. The responsibility for events is a collective evidence," Jean-Yves Foucard, the defense lawyer, was quoted by AFP.

Manchester United player received a five-match ban as he did not perform his duties as captain to incite players to resume training during South Africa international tournament.

France's coach Laurent Blanc said sanctions against veteran French players will hamper efforts to compose the best soccer team able to secure a place for the Euro tournament in 2012.

French Football Federation (FFF) disciplinary commission handed a 18-match ban to Chelsea striker Nicolas Anelka. Franck Riberey and Jeremy Toulalan were banned for three matches and one game respectively.

The FFF punishment was due to the refusal of French players to train during the world cup first round as a protest after Chelsea striker Nicolas Anelka was sent home following an expletive-laced tirade at then coach Raymond Domenech.
