Ligue 1 leaders Lyon were dealt a blow on Monday when the club confirmed that Serbian international defender Milan Bisevac was ruled out for the season with ruptured knee ligaments.

The 31-year-old suffered the injury during the 0-0 draw at Monaco on Sunday, a result which meant Hubert Fournier's side now have a lead of two points over Marseille and Paris Saint-Germain.

The player, who signed with Lyon from PSG in 2012, will undergo surgery on Thursday and will be out of action for up to six months.
