Lille considering legal action after Santos injury

French club Lille say they are considering taking legal action after defender Tiago Santos suffered a knee injury from an "uncontrolled and dangerous" tackle against Le Havre on Saturday. Santos, 24, was carried off on a stretcher having ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), as well as suffering a meniscal tear in his right knee. He was tackled by Le Havre midfielder Amir Richardson in the first half of Lille's eventual 1-0 win and, while it was given as a foul, Richardson did not receive a yellow or red card for the challenge.
