Burkina Faso suffered an early setback in the match against Algeria as their starting defender and key figure in the defense, Bakary Koné, had to leave the field. The incident occurred after just 7 minutes of play when the ball was difficult to keep in play. Koné, injured in the process, initially received treatment on the sidelines but was unable to continue.
Upon returning to the field, it became apparent that Koné had to concede due to the injury. The Lyon player seemed to be dealing with a thigh strain. Toulouse’s Steeve Yago was then called upon to replace him in the match.
