England Captain Jordan Henderson Suffers Serious Wrist Injury Celebrating Win Over Mexico

England captain Jordan Henderson left the pitch on a stretcher after suffering a wrist injury during celebrations following his side’s dramatic 3-2 victory over Mexico in the World Cup Round of 16 at Azteca Stadium. The 36-year-old reportedly fell over an advertising board after the final whistle. Manager Thomas Tuchel described the injury as serious and confirmed that Henderson was taken to hospital for assessment. Henderson has only clocked six minutes in the tournament so far. He will remain under medical care and will not travel back with the squad as England prepare for a quarter-final clash against Norway. The setback adds to England’s injury concerns, with defender Reece James already sidelined by a hamstring problem ahead of the next match.
