The World Cup 2026 quarter-finals are set, with eight teams vying for a place in the semi-finals. England and Belgium will have to make do with reduced squads after key midfielders Jordan Henderson and Amadou Onana were ruled out for the remainder of the tournament.
Injury blows for England and Belgium
Jordan Henderson suffered a freak injury in the aftermath of England's 3-2 win against Mexico and underwent surgery, while Amadou Onana ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his right knee during Belgium's 4-1 victory over the United States. Under FIFA rules, both nations are forced to continue with 25-man squads, as the deadline to officially name replacements expired 24 hours before their opening group matches.
