FIFA has opened proceedings against Neil Taylor after the Wales defender was sent off for a challenge that broke Seamus Coleman's leg in a World Cup qualifying draw with the Republic of Ireland.
Coleman has since undergone surgery after the second-half foul from Aston Villa's Taylor, which resulted in a straight red card in Friday's match at Dublin's Aviva Stadium.
