English team the French kick out (5)
I believe the answer is:
exile
'kick out' is the definition.
(I know that exile is a type of kick out)
'english team the french' is the wordplay.
'english' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'team' becomes 'XI' (a football team, from Roman numerals for 11).
'the french' becomes 'le' ('the' in French).
'e'+'xi'+'le'='EXILE'
(Other definitions for exile that I've seen before include "Bar (someone) from their native country" , "Banishment from home" , "Refugee" , "Ousted person" , "Person who now lives in another country" .)
