VANCOUVER, June 22 (Reuters) - A Canada side rallying ⁠around the loss of injured midfielder Ismael Kone face Switzerland on Wednesday needing a win or ⁠draw to secure top spot in Group B and their first World Cup knockout-round appearance.

Canada ‌will be without the services of Kone when they line up against three-time quarter-finalists Switzerland as the linchpin midfielder suffered a broken leg following a tackle by Qatar's Assim Madibo during the co-host's 6-0 thrashing of Qatar last week that gave them their first World Cup ​win.
