England midfielder Jordan Henderson suffered a “really serious” wrist injury while celebrating his side’s dramatic World Cup last-16 win over Mexico, coach Thomas Tuchel has said.
Henderson appeared to land awkwardly after falling from the advertising hoardings at Mexico City’s Estadio Azteca following England’s 3-2 win and was pictured leaving the field on a stretcher.
The 36-year-old Brentford midfielder’s World Cup appearance was limited to a six-minute appearance following England’s Group L win over Panama.
“Jordan (Henderson) just fell and hurt his wrist. It looks very bad,” England coach Thomas Tuchel told BBC One after his team’s victory on Monday.
“It’s a pretty serious injury and Jordan not being with us right now doesn’t do justice to tonight. The doctor told me he was in the hospital.”
Henderson is accompanied by an England support staff member and will not travel back with the team on Monday.
England’s next match is the quarter-final against Norway in Miami on Saturday at 10pm BST, which you can follow on BBC Radio 5 Live and the BBC Sport website and app.
Henderson is likely to join Reece James, who suffered a hamstring injury in England’s first match.
Jarell Quansah is unavailable after picking up a straight red card during England’s win over Mexico.
