England players to get hoarding warning after freak Henderson injury
England midfielder Jordan Henderson has suffered a freak wrist injury while celebrating his side's 3-2 World Cup victory over Mexico at the Azteca Stadium, landing awkwardly as he tried to hurdle the advertising hoardings. He is expected to require surgery, making him a major doubt for the rest of the tournament, and the incident has prompted manager Thomas Tuchel to plan advice for his players to avoid jumping over hoardings in future.
The 36-year-old Brentford player was taken from the pitch on a stretcher and remained in hospital in Mexico City on Sunday evening, accompanied by a member of England's medical team, rather than travelling back with the squad to their base in Kansas City. Tuchel described the injury as "quite serious" and said it did not fit the mood of an otherwise successful evening for England.
