Marsch confirmed after the game that Kone had gone to hospital, but also revealed that Qatar’s Madibo had apologised to the former Marseille midfielder.
“He came into the dressing room to apologise,” added Marsch.
“I don’t think he meant such a gruesome tackle, I don’t fault him for that but I don’t understand their reaction from their bench.”
Madibo had been sent off for the tackle, leaving Qatar to finish the match with nine men – as Homam El Amin had been sent off for a professional foul on Tajon Buchanan in the first half.
The job is not done yet for Canada but they are within a point of guaranteeing their place in the last 32 of the World Cup – an incredible achievement for a side who had never before registered a point at the tournament until their opening 1-1 draw with Bosnia-Herzegovina.
They next face Switzerland knowing a win will ensure top spot in their group, and staying in Canada for the knockouts.
“You can see the brotherhood,” added Marsch.
“It is one of the first things I noticed when I took on this role, how close they are and how connected they are.
“In a moment like this, I don’t think they need me so much, they have each other. Their families are here and we have a family barbecue tomorrow and we will enjoy that and he [Kone] will be on our minds.”
