England midfielder Jordan Henderson sustained a significant wrist injury during his team's dramatic World Cup last-16 triumph against Mexico. The incident unfolded as Henderson celebrated England's 3-2 victory, reportedly falling awkwardly from the advertising hoardings. He was subsequently pictured being carried off the pitch on a stretcher.
Manager Thomas Tuchel confirmed the severity of the injury, stating on BBC One that Henderson's wrist "looks really bad." The 36-year-old Brentford player's participation in the tournament has been minimal, with only a six-minute appearance prior to this incident. The doctor indicated Henderson was taken to the hospital for further assessment.
Henderson is now likely to miss England's quarter-final clash against Norway in Miami. He joins teammate Reece James, who is already sidelined with a hamstring injury sustained in the opening match. Additionally, Jarell Quansah is unavailable due to a straight red card received during the win over Mexico.
