Henderson stretchered off with 'really bad' wrist injury during England's post-match celebrations

Jordan Henderson was stretchered off the pitch at Mexico City Stadium after suffering what England manager Thomas Tuchel described as a ‘really bad’ wrist injury, sustained not during the match itself but in the celebrations that followed England’s victory over Mexico.

Henderson fell over the advertising hoardings during the post-match scenes and was subsequently seen receiving oxygen on the pitch before being taken off on a stretcher.

Tuchel gave a blunt assessment of the situation in his immediate post-match comments. “Not good, not good,” the England head coach said. “Jordan just fell over and injured his wrist — it looks really bad.”

The incident compounded what was already a difficult evening for Tuchel, who also referenced a red card shown to a defender as another concern heading out of the fixture.

Further details on the extent of Henderson’s injury are expected once medical staff have completed their assessment.
