Fifa president Sepp
Blatter wants to examine Martin Taylor's leg-breaking challenge on
Eduardo to see if his three-match ban should be
extended.
Birmingham defender Taylor has
insisted the challenge was clumsy not malicious.
But Blatter has said he will
contact the Football Association to release the disciplinary file
of the incident.
"We have the right to ask
national associations to give us the file - and if we feel the
suspension is not enough we will come back on that," he said.

Eduardo suffered a double
compund fracture of his left leg and will miss the rest of the
season as well as Croatia's Euro 2008 campaign.
The Arsenal striker has
accepted it was an accident after meeting Taylor in the Birmingham
hospital where he underwent surgery, but Blatter clearly has other
views.
Speaking at a meeting of the
International FA board in Gleneagles, he added: "I told the
International Board that a player who is deliberately attacking
another player and tries to demolish a player should be
banned.
"And not only for three
matches but temporarily banned or a life ban depending on the
severity of the attack.
"Why the hell should
footballers demolish each other?"
Blatter's comments follow
those of Cristiano Ronaldo, who complained at his lack of
protection during Manchester United's surprise FA Cup defeat by
Portsmouth on Saturday.
The Portuguese winger said he
was "scared" to play his natural game due to some of the tackles he
has to contend with in games.
"Sometimes I say that this is
the best league in the world, but sometimes they don't protect the
skilful players," he said.
"After what happened to the
Arsenal player Eduardo da Silva, I am scared to do my
skills.
"Sometimes they just protect
the defenders and I am thinking about having to change my game
because it is difficult to play like that."<!-- E BO
