Veteran England midfielder Jordan Henderson will reportedly undergo wrist surgery and miss the rest of the World Cup after injuring himself during celebrations for England’s 3-2 win over Mexico, per The Athletic.
The incident happened during England’s singing of Oasis’ “Wonderwall” with the Three Lions supporters. Henderson attempted to hop the wall behind the goal, but clipped his foot on the way down and fell on his face, attempting to brace himself with his left arm.
Defender Dan Burn quickly alerted medical staff to the potential injury, as Henderson was grabbing at his left wrist. Henderson was then stretchered off the field.
While his exact injury is unknown, Henderson is expected to miss the rest of the World Cup due to the issue, per The Athletic.
Henderson did not play in Sunday’s game. He received a yellow card in stoppage time after arguing with the referee and interfering with an England throw-in from the sideline.
England captain Harry Kane was asked about Henderson in a post-match interview on the broadcast.
“Hendo just fell over there, I think he’s OK, just something to do with his arm,” Kane said.
But Thomas Tuchel told reporters postgame that the injury was more serious than expected, saying that Henderson has been taken to the hospital.
“He just fell over and injured his wrist,” Tuchel said, via multiple outlets. “It looks really bad.”
Henderson, 36, has made one appearance in this World Cup, playing seven minutes of England’s group stage win over Panama.
