England's Jordan Henderson suffers injury celebrating stunning Mexico win

On Sunday, July 5, England midfielder Jordan Henderson suffered a serious wrist injury during post-match celebrations at Estadio Azteca in Mexico City, requiring immediate medical attention and a stretcher with oxygen.
Henderson, an unused substitute, sustained the injury attempting to vault over advertising boards after the team's traditional post-match rendition of Oasis' "Wonderwall," landing awkwardly on his left arm.
England manager Thomas Tuchel confirmed the injury is "quite serious" and requires surgery. Teammate Jude Bellingham added Henderson was "in a bit of bother," but the medical team had everything under control.
FIFA regulations prevent England from calling up a replacement, leaving the squad with a 25-man roster. Henderson remained in a Mexico City hospital while teammates returned to their Kansas City base.
England will face Norway on Saturday in Miami for the quarter-final without the veteran midfielder, while manager Thomas Tuchel also manages defender Jarell Quansah's suspension following a red card.
