Jordan Henderson has been rushed to hospital after suffering a serious wrist injury during England's 3-2 World Cup last-16 victory over Mexico. The former Liverpool captain was stretchered off the pitch after falling over the advertising hoardings while celebrating with teammates.
Incident and Immediate Response
Henderson needed oxygen as he was carried off on a stretcher at the Mexico City Stadium. England manager Thomas Tuchel provided a concerning update to the BBC, stating the injury was 'really bad'. He said: 'Not good, not good, next thing is a right defender now with the red card, Jordan just fell over and injured his wrist, it looks really bad.'
Tuchel's Press Conference Comments
During his post-match press conference, Tuchel added: 'He injured his wrist, he's gone to hospital, it's quite a serious injury. It doesn't fit with the night. I don't know if there will be a procedure.' The injury comes as a blow to England's squad depth, with the team already dealing with a red card to a right-back.
Impact on England's World Cup Campaign
Henderson's absence could affect England's midfield options in the quarter-finals. The 34-year-old has been a key figure for the Three Lions, providing experience and leadership. Further updates on his condition are expected following hospital assessment.
