Jordan Henderson is set to miss the remainder of the World Cup after suffering an injury in bizarre circumstances following England’s victory over Mexico — despite not having played a single minute of the game.

The Brentford midfielder was hurt shortly after the final whistle, with the incident described as a freak slip. The nature of the injury means Henderson now faces the prospect of playing no further part in England’s tournament campaign.

Full details of the injury’s severity and the expected recovery timeline have yet to be confirmed, but the initial prognosis points to his involvement in the competition being over.
