Having initially shoved Lesage following Tiemoue Bakayoko’s 32nd-minute red card, Portugal international Martins was then sent off before pushing the referee again.
Martins, who joined Monaco permanently from La Liga outfit Atletico Madrid in 2019, risks receiving a suspension of up to eight months.
Monaco team-mate Bakayoko received a two-match ban after his sending off last week.
Martins has scored four goals and assisted another for Monaco, who are 10th in Ligue 1 this season.
