England secured a thrilling 3-2 victory over Mexico at the Azteca Stadium to reach the quarterfinals, but the celebrations came with an unexpected casualty. Veteran midfielder Jordan Henderson injured his wrist during post-match celebrations with fans. The 36-year-old lost his balance trying to climb over an advertising board, fell awkwardly, and was rushed to hospital.
England manager Thomas Tuchel confirmed the news was not good: “Henderson’s injury is quite serious,” he said, casting a shadow over what had been a memorable night for the Three Lions.
