Video shows how Jordan Henderson got badly hurt during England’s celebration.
England pulled off an exciting 3-2 win against Mexico in the round of 16 at the Azteca Stadium, but there is some worry about Jordan Henderson, who got an unusual injury.
Jude Bellingham scored twice in the first half, and Harry Kane added a penalty in the second half, helping England move on to the World Cup quarter-finals, where they’ll play Norway next. Even though Mexico’s Julian Quinones and Raul Jimenez scored, England showed great heart defending, especially after Jarell Quansah got a red card.
Quansah will miss the next game unless he gets a similar break like Folarin Balogun from the US team. Meanwhile, manager Thomas Tuchel is concerned about Henderson’s injury, which happened during the celebrations when the team was singing “Wonderwall.” Henderson had to be taken off the field on a stretcher and needed oxygen, raising questions from the BBC.
Harry Kane tried to calm fans, saying he didn’t know all the details yet, but Jude Bellingham hinted the injury might be more serious. Bellingham also said the medical staff are taking good care of Henderson and everyone is supporting him.
Tuchel shared after the game that Henderson hurt his wrist when he fell over some advertising boards and admitted it “looks really bad.”
Both Henderson and Tuchel hope this injury won’t end his World Cup journey as England chases their first title in 60 years. The team is still looking strong and confident to beat Norway in the next round and keep their dream alive.
