Lorient midfielder Yazid Mansouri will be out of action for over a month after tearing his hamstring.

The 31-year-old Algeria captain suffered the injury during Saturday's 1-0 defeat at Lyon, although he lasted for the duration of the match. Lorient confirmed Mansouri will be sidelined for four to six weeks.

The club also announced that youngster Yaya Diane is out for two months with a knee injury.

Mansouri's injury is a further blow to Lorient, who are also set to be without midfielder Yann Jouffre for two to three months following surgery on his injured groin.
