👀 Despite horror break, England star Henderson is suddenly benched | OneFootball

Unbelievable. Just a few days ago, Jordan Henderson suffered a comminuted fracture in his left arm while celebrating, yet on Saturday he was still on the bench for the quarter-final win over Norway and could theoretically even have come on.

The Brentford FC midfielder warmed up with the England team, wearing a special brace on his arm. It brought back memories of Philipp Lahm at the 2006 World Cup. 

Recently, Jordan Henderson’s father said: "His left forearm is completely shattered. He’s getting a cast now, and then the specialists will determine the best course of treatment." Nothing less than a certain World Cup exit had been predicted for the 36-year-old. And yet he was on the bench against Norway. The veteran really does have the heart of a fighter.
