Wales' Neil Taylor Gets Extra Ban For Seamus Coleman Tackle
Wales defender Neil Taylor has been banned for two games by FIFA, for the tackle which broke Seamus Coleman's leg last month.

The red card meant he was automatically suspended for one match.
However, FIFA’s Disciplinary Committee have added a further game onto his suspension.
It means he will miss their games against Serbia in June and Austria in September.
Coleman is expected to be out of action for the rest of 2017, as he recovers from the double leg break.
