Jordan Henderson 'ruled out of World Cup' after freak accident | OneFootball

England midfielder Jordan Henderson will miss the remainder of the 2026 World Cup after suffering a broken arm in a freak post-match accident following England's dramatic last-16 victory over Mexico.

Henderson was injured while celebrating with supporters after the final whistle, slipping as he attempted to climb back over the advertising hoardings. The 36-year-old was treated on the pitch, given oxygen and stretchered off before being taken to hospital.

According to reports from the BBC and The Athletic, Henderson has sustained a broken arm that will require surgery, ruling him out of the rest of the tournament.

The injury casts a shadow over England's memorable 3-2 win, which secured a quarter-final meeting with Norway. Although Henderson did not feature against Mexico, his experience and leadership have been viewed as valuable assets within Thomas Tuchel's squad throughout the tournament.
