Ismaël Koné
As I initially had suspected and feared, Canada’s Koné is confirmed to have suffered a fracture of the fibula and tibia of his left leg.
He is reportedly undergoing surgery now.
I wonder if this is a possible pathological fracture, specifically of the tibia.
This usually occurs when there’s an underlying disease or condition—such as a tumor, infection, or metabolic bone disorder— weakening the bone making it easier to fracture.
Usually a kick like this wouldn’t lead to a fracture of the tibia + fibula.
This is the play and an idea of what the hardware in his leg will look like on X-ray.
Realistically he could return in 4-6 months.
🚨📲 NEW: The Algerian defender, Assa Mandi, has taken to Instagram to complain about the refs' decision in the match against Argentina.
"If I’d fractured my ankle last night, the guy who did it would’ve walked away with no card. Refs need to do better. The whole world is watching."
