Midfielder Ismael Kone will start for Canada in Tuesday\u2019s friendly against Tunisia, head coach Jesse Marsch told reporters Sunday at training.<\/p>\n

Sunday #CanMNT<\/a> training notes \u2014 Matthew Scianitti (@TSNScianitti) March 29, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n Marsch\u2019s side drew 2-2 with Iceland Saturday at BMO Field, allowing two early goals to Orri Oskarsson but salvaged a draw in the second half on two Jonathan David penalties.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Marsch said centre-back Moise Bombito\u2019s recovery from a tibia fracture is not as far along as the club would have hoped. Canada is working on a recovery plan with Bombito\u2019s club team Nice. <\/p>\n Marsch also said Canada is planning to appeal if Tajon Buchanan is suspended three matches for violent conduct after being shown a red card during the second half of Saturday\u2019s friendly for an elbow thrown along the touchline.<\/p>\n If Buchanan is suspended, the ban would cover Canada\u2019s next three friendlies and means he would not be eligible to return until Canada\u2019s World Cup opener on June 12. <\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re physical, we play hard, but we\u2019re not a dirty team,\u201d said Marsch<\/a> of Buchanan\u2019s dismissal. <\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m not worried about developing a reputation, but certainly cards like that can change momentum in tournaments.\u201d<\/p>\n Watch Canada\u2019s game against Tunisia LIVE Tuesday evening at 7:30pm ET\/4:30pm PT on TSN4, TSN.ca and the TSN App.<\/p>\n
