England midfielder Jordan Henderson faces a significant doubt for the remainder of the tournament after suffering a freak wrist injury during post-match celebrations.
Henderson, 36, sustained the injury when he landed awkwardly on his arm while attempting to hurdle advertising hoardings following England's 3-2 World Cup victory over Mexico. The incident required him to be taken off the field on a stretcher and he is expected to undergo surgery.
Manager Thomas Tuchel expressed concern over the severity of the injury, stating it looked "really bad" and that Henderson was taken to the hospital. The midfielder did not travel back with the squad to their base in Kansas City and remained in Mexico City for treatment.
In light of this incident, Tuchel intends to advise his players against jumping over hoardings during celebrations. The aim is to prevent any recurrence of such avoidable injuries and ensure player availability for crucial matches.
Jordan just fell over and injured his wrist. It looks really bad. It's a quite serious injury and it doesn't fit to the evening that Jordan is now not with us. The doctor told me he is in hospital.
