Awaiting surgery
Kone (leg) is at the hospital awaiting surgery, according to manager Jesse Marsch, per James Sharman of Footy Prime.
Analysis: Kone went down with an apparent broken leg Thursday and will now get further testing done, as the midfielder is already set for surgery. Unfortunately for the midfielder, he will not return to the World Cup due to the injury, potentially now also set to miss the entire league season. More on his status and recovery should come in the next day or two after his surgery and operation are complete.
Suffers likely broken leg
Kone was taken off the field in the 56th minute of Thursday's match against Qatar due to an apparent broken leg.
Analysis: Kone would horrifically leave the field Thursday following a rough tackle from a Qatar defender that led to a red, as Kone appeared to have suffered a broken leg. Unfortunately for the midfielder, this will knock him out of the rest of the World Cup for Team Canada, likely to end his club season with Sassuolo as well. He hopes an MRI and further testing will only show a broken leg and no further damage, as this will already be a difficult injury to recover from, as his teammate Moise Bombito knows. This is also a major blow to Canada as they lose a starting midfielder, with Nathan Saliba now likely to take on a bigger role due to Kone's absence.
