England’s Jordan Henderson suffers ‘serious injury’ after Mexico game

England is onto the FIFA World Cup quarterfinals, but whether Jordan Henderson will join them is now a mystery.

The midfielder suffered a wrist injury during The Three Lions celebration immediately after beating Mexico in the Round of 16.

Henderson, 36, stumbled over an advertising board on the border of the pitch, appeared to immediately be in pain and was stretchered off shortly thereafter as his teammates celebrated the win.

After the game, England coach Thomas Tuchel told reporters that Henderson “has a serious injury” and is in the hospital.

Henderson did not play against Mexico, but did receive a yellow card in the second half as he was warming up on the sidelines.

The longtime England national team player has one appearance during the World Cup, coming on as a second-half substitute in a group stage game against Panama.
