Jordan Henderson is set to undergo surgery after suffering a sickening wrist injury during England's Euro 2026 campaign, which will rule him out for the remainder of the tournament. The England star was hospitalised following the incident, which occurred during a match.
Details of the Injury
Henderson sustained the injury during England's recent fixture, forcing him to leave the pitch and seek immediate medical attention. The Three Lions midfielder was later taken to a hospital for further assessment, where it was determined that surgery was necessary.
According to sources close to the player, Henderson will undergo the procedure in the coming days and is expected to begin rehabilitation shortly after. The exact timeline for his recovery has not been disclosed, but it is understood that he will miss the rest of Euro 2026.
Impact on England's Squad
Henderson's absence is a significant blow for England, as the experienced midfielder has been a key figure in the squad. His leadership and defensive capabilities will be missed as the team progresses in the tournament. England manager Gareth Southgate will now have to adjust his plans to compensate for the loss of the Liverpool star.
Fans have expressed their support for Henderson on social media, with many wishing him a speedy recovery. The team is expected to announce a replacement or adjust their tactics ahead of their next match.
Reaction and Next Steps
In a statement, the Football Association confirmed that Henderson is in good spirits and focused on his recovery. "Jordan is receiving the best possible care and we are confident he will make a full recovery," the statement read. "Our thoughts are with him, and we look forward to seeing him back on the pitch soon."
Henderson's surgery is scheduled for later this week, and he will remain under observation before beginning his rehabilitation program. The midfielder's absence will be felt both on and off the pitch, but the squad remains determined to continue their campaign.
