The Canadian Men's National Team have been hit with a significant injury blow on Thursday during their group stage clash with Qatar.
Already playing against 10-men, midfielder Ismaël Koné was seriously injured following a tackle by Assim Madibo just before the hour mark.
Players on both teams were immediately distraught, and official broadcast commentary captured a range of emotions from all involved.
Koné, who plays for Sassuolo in Italy, was then taken off on a stretcher.
Canada's official World Cup broadcaster, TSN, has reported the player has had his leg stabilized and is on his way to a local hospital in Vancouver.
An official injury is yet to be confirmed by Canada Soccer.
