The unfortunate Brazilian was hit by the blow in his first game since recovering from an ankle injury last season.
The 27-year-old collided with Nancy striker Monsef Zerka midway through the first half of their pre-season friendly, which Les Gones won 3-0.
The Ligue 1 champions said that Santos "could be out for several weeks".
The former Cruzeiro player has only played 16 matches since he joined Lyon in 2006, and he spent time on loan at Sao Paulo earlier in 2008.
