Defender Neil Taylor is "desperately sorry" for the tackle that broke Seamus Coleman's leg, says Aston Villa boss Steve Bruce.
Left-back Taylor, 28, was sent off for the challenge on Coleman during Wales' World Cup qualifier with the Republic of Ireland in Dublin on 24 March.
Everton defender Coleman, 28, needed surgery on his fibia and tibula.
"He's deeply disappointed - no-one wants to see a fellow professional badly injured," Bruce told BBC WM 95.6.
Taylor, who helped Swansea win promotion to the Premier League in 2011, but moved to Villa from south Wales in January, has been affected by what has happened to Coleman.
