Lille were 2-1 up when Senegal's Sylva left the pitch in the 74th minute with a hand injury that rules him out of Wednesday's Champions League match at AC Milan.

"He's got a fractured finger and will be sidelined for a long time," Lille coach Claude Puel told reporters after the game.

Gregory Malicki, who came on for Sylva, should replace him on Wednesday.

Midfielder Benjamin Gavanon put Nancy ahead with a deflected shot from the edge of the box on 52 minutes but Lille equalised 10 metres later through Mathieu Bodmer before Mathieu Debuchy gave them the lead with a superb free kick on 69 minutes.

Guinea forward Souleymane Youla wrapped it up in added time.
