England Star Suffers World Cup-Ending Injury While Celebrating Win

The player is set to undergo wrist surgery.

A player from England’s World Cup team is out of the tournament after suffering a serious injury while celebrating the country’s win against Mexico. Jordan Henderson, who was a substitute in Sunday’s game, headed behind one of the goals to sing the Oasis hit “Wonderwall” with fans when he fell over an advertising board and landed awkwardly. The team circled around him while the medical personnel rushed to the player, removing him from the field on a stretcher. According to England’s head coach, Thomas Tuchel, Henderson suffered a “quite serious” wrist injury. He did not fly back to the team’s training base with the rest of the players, instead staying in Mexico City that night. As of this morning, The Athletic reports that he will not take further part in the tournament and requires surgery on his wrist. Henderson has played 91 times for England during his 16-year career and currently plays for Brentford in the Premier League. England is set to face Norway in the quarterfinals on July 11 after their 3-2 win over Mexico on Sunday.
