Banish from Spain team associated with the French (5)
I believe the answer is:
exile
'banish' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'spain team associated with the french' is the wordplay.
'spain' becomes 'e' (abbreviation for Espana).
'team' becomes 'xi' (eleven, a football team).
'associated with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'the french' becomes 'le'.
'e'+'xi'+'le'='EXILE'
'from' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for exile that I've seen before include "Send to live abroad" , "Car journey" , "Deport" , "Deportation" , "Person expelled from home country" .)
