England midfielder Jordan Henderson sustained a significant wrist injury whilst celebrating his team's dramatic 3-2 knockout-stage victory against Mexico at the World Cup. The 36-year-old footballer fell from the advertising boards during post-match festivities and required medical attention, ultimately being transported from the stadium on a stretcher and admitted to hospital.

Manager Thomas Tuchel characterised the injury as particularly serious, adding another concern to England's injury list ahead of their quarter-final encounter with Norway scheduled for Saturday. Henderson had seen limited action in the tournament, featuring for just six minutes in an earlier group-stage match, whilst the team also faces the absence of Reece James due to a hamstring complaint and Jarell Quansah following his red card in the Mexico fixture.

  • Player hospitalised following fall from advertising hoardings; manager called injury 'really bad'
