Jordan Henderson is taken to hospital after suffering a wrist injury in the immediate aftermath of England’s World Cup last-16 match against Mexico. The midfielder, who is an unused substitute in the 3-2 win, falls over an advertising hoarding during post-match celebrations. Multiple reports say medical staff rush to the scene and Henderson is given oxygen. He is then carried off on a stretcher to receive treatment.
Outlets describe the injury as a freak accident occurring while players celebrate in front of fans, shortly after the final whistle. Reports agree the incident happens in the stadium area amid the chaotic celebrations rather than during the match itself. Several sources also frame the injury as a potential concern for Henderson’s availability for the remainder of the tournament, though specifics of diagnosis and recovery timeline are not consistently provided across the coverage.
