England midfielder Jordan Henderson suffered a "really bad" wrist injury while celebrating his side's dramatic World Cup last-16 victory over Mexico, manager Thomas Tuchel has confirmed. The 36-year-old Brentford player appeared to land awkwardly after falling from advertising hoardings at Mexico City's Azteca Stadium following England's 3-2 win. He was pictured leaving the pitch on a stretcher and has been taken to hospital.
Injury details and immediate aftermath
"Jordan [Henderson] just fell over and injured his wrist. It looks really bad," Tuchel told BBC One after the match on Monday. "It's a quite serious injury and it doesn't fit to the evening that Jordan is now not with us. The doctor told me he is in hospital." Henderson is being accompanied by a member of England's support staff and will not travel back with the team. His World Cup involvement has been limited to a six-minute appearance at the end of England's Group L win over Panama.
Impact on England's squad
Henderson is likely to join Reece James on the sidelines; James picked up a hamstring injury in England's opening match. Additionally, Jarell Quansah is unavailable after receiving a straight red card during the victory over Mexico. England's next match is a quarter-final tie against Norway in Miami on Saturday at 22:00 BST, which can be followed on BBC Radio 5 Live and the BBC Sport website and App.
