Assim Madibo was distressed after realizing the severity of Ismael Kone's injury and visited him in hospital.

Qatar midfielder Assim Madibo has been given a five-match ban for his challenge on Canada's Ismael Kone at the World Cup.

Madibo, 29, was sent off during Qatar's 6-0 defeat last Thursday following a foul which resulted in Kone sustaining a broken leg.

Fifa's disciplinary committee has now imposed a five-match suspension for serious foul play, which is subject to appeal.

Kone suffered fractures to both the tibia and fibula bones in his lower left leg and the former Watford midfielder will miss the rest of the tournament.

The 24-year-old, who now plays for Italian side Sassuolo, underwent surgery shortly after the game in Vancouver and was visited in hospital by Madibo.

Canada play Switzerland in their final group game on Wednesday and hope to qualify for the last 32 as group winners.
