What happened, where, who announced it, when and key outcome: Jordan Henderson suffered a wrist injury while celebrating England’s 3-2 World Cup victory over Mexico at the Azteca Stadium in Mexico City, manager Thomas Tuchel said after the match; Henderson is expected to have surgery and remained in hospital, making him doubtful for the remainder of the tournament.

Henderson, a Brentford midfielder, landed awkwardly on his arm as he attempted to hurdle advertising hoardings during the post-match celebrations and needed to be removed from the field on a stretcher.

Tuchel described the injury as serious and confirmed the player was taken to hospital in Mexico City, where he stayed on Sunday evening instead of travelling back with the squad to their base in Kansas City.

The manager said the England medical team accompanied Henderson to the hospital and that the injury did not fit the mood of the evening, underscoring its severity.

As a precautionary measure, Tuchel is understood to be advising players against jumping over advertising hoardings to prevent similar incidents occurring during future celebrations.

The expected surgery on Henderson’s wrist leaves him a significant doubt for upcoming matches in the tournament, pending the outcome of the operation and medical assessments.
