Milan Bisevac of Lyon out for six months with ACL tear

French league leaders Lyon were handed another injury blow on Monday when key defender Milan Bisevac was ruled out until the end of the season with a serious knee injury.

The Serbian limped off the pitch in Sunday's 0-0 draw at Monaco after injuring his right knee.

He underwent scans that revealed an anterior cruciate ligament tear, Lyon said in a statement.

Bisevac will undergo surgery later this week and will be unavailable for six months.

Bisevac's injury comes after striker Alexandre Lacazette, the league's top scorer, picked up a thigh injury that will sideline him until the end of February, meaning he will miss Sunday's crucial Ligue 1 game against Paris Saint-Germain.
