Jordan Henderson suffers serious injury during England celebrations | OneFootball

Jordan Henderson's World Cup could be over after the veteran midfielder suffered a serious wrist injury during England's post-match celebrations following their dramatic 3-2 victory over Mexico in the last 16.

The 36-year-old was hurt while celebrating with England supporters behind the goal at the Azteca Stadium after the final whistle.

Henderson appeared to trip over the advertising boards and landed awkwardly, with television pictures showing him being stretchered away before he was taken to hospital.

England head coach Thomas Tuchel later confirmed the injury was significant, revealing Henderson had damaged his wrist and would remain in Mexico City for further medical assessment while the rest of the squad returned to their training base in Kansas City.

The injury cast a shadow over an unforgettable evening for the Three Lions, who reached the quarter-finals thanks to a Harry Kane penalty and a Jude Bellingham brace despite playing much of the second half with 10 men. Henderson had recently become the first England men's player to feature at four World Cups.
