Bennett apologises for horror tackle on Sane

Cardiff City defender Joe Bennett has apologised for injuring Manchester City star Leroy Sane during Sunday's FA Cup fourth-round tie.

Pep Guardiola's Premier League leaders won 2-0 thanks to goals from Kevin De Bruyne and Raheem Sterling, although they were forced to play the second half without Germany winger Sane.

Bennett scythed into the 22-year-old with an ugly lunge at his left ankle. Sane is set to have a scan on Monday, but Guardiola told reporters he expects to be without the player for two to four weeks as his side enter a pivotal stage of their battle for honours on all fronts.
