FIFA has opened disciplinary proceedings against Neil Taylor following the Wales international's challenge on Republic of Ireland defender Seamus Coleman.

Everton full-back Coleman underwent surgery on a broken tibia and fibula after the Welshman's tackle during the World Cup qualifying clash at Dublin's Aviva Stadium, which ended in a goalless draw.

Coleman faces an extended period on the sidelines after the incident and Taylor is confirmed to miss Wales' next qualifier against Serbia in June, but now faces the prospect of having his automatic one-match ban extended.
