Canada midfielder Ismaël Koné had surgery after breaking the tibia and fibula in his left leg at the World Cup.
The 24-year-old Koné, coming off his first season with Italian club Sassuolo, was hurt during a tackle from behind by Assim Madibo during the 51st minute of Thursday’s 6-0 win over Qatar.
The Canada Soccer Association said Friday that Koné had surgery on Thursday night.
Madibo received a red card. He apologized in person to Koné after the game.
