TV cameras spotted Henderson given oxygen as he was carried from the pitch.

Asked for an update after the game, Thomas Tuchel told BBC Sport: “He’s not good. It’s not good. He injured his wrist and it looks really bad.”

He then confirmed the veteran midfielder had been hospitalised: “It's a very special night for us. Mixed feelings because I am exhausted and emotional but also sad because Jordan got injured, he injured his wrist and is at the hospital at the moment.

"It's a quite serious injury and it doesn't fit to the evening that Jordan is now not with us. I don't know the procedure, I just did the press and the doctor told me he is in hospital."

England captain Harry Kane said: "Jordan just fell over there. I think he's okay, just something to do with his arm."

Jude Bellingham added: "He's in a bit of bother, but the medical team have got everything under control.

“I best to not give too much detail when I don't know too much what's going on, but everyone was there to support him and even that was a beautiful thing to see."
