Sent off, does the man remain in team? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

banished

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'sent off' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'the man remain in team?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'man' could be 'ban' and 'ban' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

'does' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for banished that I've seen before include "Exiled" , "Condemned to exile" , "Sent into exile" , "excluded?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
