World Cup co-hosts Canada have suffered a serious blow with star midfielder Ismael Kone stretchered off after suffering a broken leg against Qatar in Vancouver. The 24-year-old received the ball and turned to pass back to his defenders, with Qatar’s Assim Madibo tripped up by the change of direction as he stuck a leg out to challenge Kone.
While holding a 3-0 advantage around the 52nd minute, Ismael Kone went down with an injury that required a long stoppage as he remained lying on the pitch. On a play that resulted in a red card for Qatar's Assim Madibo, Kane suffered a gruesome leg injury that also put Qatar down two players in a rough performance.
