Ismael Kone To Undergo Surgery After Horrific World Cup Tackle by TitilopeDaily(op): 11:06pm On Jun 19
Canadian midfielder, Ismael Kone, has been taken to hospital and is set to undergo surgery after suffering a serious leg injury during Canada's 6-0 FIFA World Cup victory over Qatar, following a brutal tackle that resulted in a red card for Qatar's Assim Madibo.

The incident occurred early in the second half at Vancouver, when Madibo came in from behind on Kone in a challenge that immediately drew fierce reactions from Canadian players, coaching staff, and supporters inside the stadium.

Canada manager, Jesse Marsch, and his staff were visibly incensed on the touchline, and could be heard on the broadcast questioning the referee's initial decision to award only a foul.

The call was subsequently upgraded to a red card. It was Qatar's second dismissal of the match, following Homam Ahmed's red card in the 31st minute.

Medical staff fitted Kone with an air cast on his left leg before he was stretchered off the pitch. He waved to the crowd as fans chanted his name.

Speaking to reporters after the final whistle, Marsch said he heard the moment of impact.

"I could hear the bone snap," the coach said, confirming that Kone had been taken to hospital and would require surgery.

Madibo acknowledged the severity of the incident on the pitch, placing his hands over his head and waving them in the air in an apparent gesture of apology.

Marsch later told reporters that Madibo had also personally apologised to Kone after the match.

The Canada manager paid tribute to Kone, describing the loss of the midfielder as a significant blow to the team's World Cup campaign.

"Ismael is such a great kid, he's imperfect but that is why we love him. He can do things that no other player can do. He embodies a lot of what this team is. He was our best player against Bosnia. He is a huge loss for us. Our hearts are with him, but that kid has a huge future," Marsch said.

Honestly to tell you the truth, I watch the match. That tackle looks normal, so surprised to see when they show the victim holding his leg and looking dismay.
I have seen much harder tackles that doesn't result to leg break. It's just unfortunate for him. I wish him quick recovery.

Do you really watch the match? That tackle looks normal, I have seen much harder and rougher tackles that didn't result to leg break. It's just unfortunate this one happen, you can see how the tackler was shock and remorseful as to what has happened.
I only wish the victim quick recovery.

Re: Ismael Kone To Undergo Surgery After Horrific World Cup Tackle by fineboynl(m): 7:47am On Jun 20
He can still play football in 4 years time. But it depends on the type of injury.
Re: Ismael Kone To Undergo Surgery After Horrific World Cup Tackle by Kalulu44: 7:50am On Jun 20
I'm just reading comments from most people who I guess didn't watch the match saying what an horrific tackle and all that.
The truth is, the tackle was a normal tackle that unfortunately broke the victim's leg.
I have seen much harder and rougher tackles in football that didn't even give the receiving player any scratch talkless injury or leg break.
.
It's just unfortunate for Ismael Kone that the simple tackle led to his broken leg, and I wish him successful surgery and quick recovery.

what is Nigeria health care doing that put them behind. Bone issues mostly don't heal completely. The pain and feeling will still be there.

Most bones are treated traditionally. While hospital usually recommends amputation
Re: Ismael Kone To Undergo Surgery After Horrific World Cup Tackle by Usmanovic95(m): 8:01am On Jun 20
I remember I had similar experience while playing football during my secondary school days.I was crying with no tears in my eye, I was shell shocked 😯.Very horrible experience, I pray he comes back stronger.

I don't know of Nigeria health care, I am talking of Gomes whose leg was broken by Heung Meun Son of Tottenham that got Son crying with the image of Gomes broken leg worse than this present one.
He came back 9months time and doing well.
So maybe we should say "Oyibo science" works better than Nigeria own

Qatar remains he richest country in the world...so no fears, when we have a country like Canada and Qatar in the situation room... No shaking I believe.

The best treatment will be offered Kone.
