Qatar FA Sends Message of Support to Ismael Kone

The Qatar Football Association has extended its support to Canadian midfielder Ismael Kone after he sustained an injury during Thursday's World Cup match between the two nations.

Qatar suffered a 0-6 defeat to Canada in their Group B encounter, a game in which Kone broke his leg following an ill-timed tackle from Qatar's Assim Madibo in the second half. Kone underwent surgery just hours later.

The Qatar Football Association posted a photo on their social media channels showing Ismael Kone waving to fans as he was stretchered off, accompanied by a message wishing him a swift recovery.

Qatar is set to face Bosnia and Herzegovina in their third World Cup fixture on June 24th.
