Saturday's Ligue 1 clash between Metz and Lyon was abandoned after just half an hour because home supporters threw firecrackers at visiting goalkeeper Anthony Lopes.
Metz had taken the lead through Gauthier Hein just before play was interrupted at the Stade Saint-Symphorien and the match was eventually called off after a delay of 45 minutes.
The incidents could lead to Metz forfeiting the match and Lyon being awarded the win.
Images broadcast by beIN SPORTS showed a dazed Lopes lying on the ground after a firecracker was launched in his direction, and a second projectile then exploded underneath the prone Portugal international.
And Lyon later said that Lopes was on his way to hospital to undergo tests.
Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas said: "At worst, the eardrum could be affected.
"He has a loss of balance and he doesn't know where he is. That's why he was taken to the hospital. The team will wait for him and hope it's nothing serious."
In other Ligue 1 action, Colombian striker Radamel Falcao scored twice as Monaco thrashed Bastia 5-0 to move top of the table.
Kylian Mbappe struck a 10th-minute opener before Monaco dismantled Bastia with four second-half goals in 11 minutes, Thomas Lemar and Guido Carrillo netting either side of Falcao's brace.
But French champions Paris Saint-Germain crashed to a shock 3-0 defeat at Montpellier.
The 2011-12 champions struck just before half-time through Paul Lasne, with Ellyes Skhiri adding a second shortly after the break.
Ryad Boudebouz capped a remarkable afternoon at the Stade de la Mosson with a terrific individual goal 10 minutes from time as Unai Emery's PSG remained a point behind both Monaco and Nice, who are at home to Toulouse on Sunday.
