Cardiff defender Bennett regrets tackle on Man City winger Sane

Cardiff City defender Joe Bennett says he regrets injuring Leroy Sane last season.

The Manchester City winger suffered ankle ligament damage after a challenge from Bennett in the FA Cup in January.

Bennett said: "I didn't realise how bad it was at the time.

"But, looking back at the pictures, it didn't look great. It was a bad tackle and it's something I wasn't proud of.

"I apologised for that and moved on quickly, but the criticism did hurt me personally."
