"LOSC has referred the matter to the French Football Federation and the Professional Football League in order to obtain an examination of the handling of this action by the refereeing team and the video assistance.

"LOSC is studying the possible remedies and reserves the right to take any legal action to obtain compensation for its damages."

The club said Santos will be unable to play for "several months".

Le Havre responded by saying that the club and Richardson expressed their support for Santos in his recovery, but backed the decision of the match referee and the video assistant referee.

They also questioned Lille's move to "punish its player after the fact, since such a decision would fall outside the current regulations".

"HAC respects all fellow Ligue 1 clubs and expects the same respect in return," Le Havre added.

BBC Sport has contacted the LFP, which runs the French professional leagues, for comment.

Lille are second in Ligue 1 and face Arsenal in the Champions League on Tuesday.
