He was stretchered off the field and received oxygen before being taken to a Mexico City hospital.

I am sad that Jordan has injured his wrist. The injury is quite serious. He is in the hospital. It does not align with the happy atmosphere tonight. I do not know the next procedure yet.

This injury is a significant blow to the 36-year-old former Liverpool captain, who had been a substitute in the match against Mexico. His only appearance in the tournament thus far was a 90th-minute substitution against Panama in the group stage.

It does not align with the happy atmosphere tonight. I do not know the next procedure yet." Teammate Jude Bellingham acknowledged Henderson was facing some issues but assured that the England medical team was managing the situation.

I am not suitable to provide too much information because I myself do not know what is happening, but everyone is always giving him support.
