England midfielder Jordan Henderson suffered a significant wrist injury while celebrating his team's dramatic World Cup last-16 victory over Mexico. The midfielder appeared to land awkwardly after falling from the advertising hoardings following England's 3-2 win.
Manager Thomas Tuchel confirmed the severity of the injury, stating, "Jordan [Henderson] just fell over and injured his wrist. It looks really bad." Henderson was seen leaving the pitch on a stretcher and was later taken to the hospital for treatment.
The 36-year-old Brentford player's World Cup participation has been limited, with only a six-minute appearance in England's Group L win against Panama. This injury adds to England's concerns, as Henderson is likely to join teammate Reece James, who is sidelined with a hamstring injury sustained in the opening match. Additionally, Jarell Quansah is unavailable after receiving a red card during the victory over Mexico.
