England midfielder Jordan Henderson has undergone surgery on his arm following an unusual injury sustained during the celebrations after the team’s dramatic 3-2 victory over Mexico at the Estadio Azteca. The win secured England’s progression to the World Cup quarter-finals.
The incident occurred when Henderson, who is 36 years old, fell over advertising hoardings in the aftermath of the match. He was stretchered off the field and promptly taken to hospital for treatment.
Despite the injury ruling him out for the rest of the tournament, Henderson is expected to remain with the squad at their base in Kansas City to continue supporting the team.
