England midfielder Jordan Henderson ended up in hospital after the round of 16 at the 2026 Football World Cup, in which England eliminated hosts Mexico. He sustained the injury only after the final whistle, during the victory celebrations at the Azteca stadium. denik.cz ↗
Thirty-six-year-old Henderson did not play a single minute of the match. During the post-match celebrations he attempted to jump over an advertising board, tripped, and landed on his left arm. According to available information, he injured his wrist and was carried off the pitch on a stretcher to the dressing room. He was subsequently taken to hospital. HVG ↗
The injury overshadowed England's joy at advancing to the tournament's last eight. England came through a dramatic round-of-16 tie against host nation Mexico, but after the match had to deal with the medical condition of the experienced midfielder, who is one of the team's best-known players. Accounts of the incident state that the injury looked serious and occurred in an unusual way, away from the game itself. Index.hu ↗
The further extent of Henderson's injury and the length of any possible absence do not yet emerge from the available information. Before the next match, the England team will be waiting on a medical examination and a decision on whether Henderson will be able to continue in the tournament. BBC News ↗
