English midfielder at the World Cup managed to get a yellow card and a serious injury, without even stepping onto the field
36-year-old England national team midfielder Jordan Henderson will not be able to help his team in the remaining matches of the 2026 World Cup, despite all his desire. And all because the day of the 1/8 final match against Mexico was clearly not his.
Initially, while on the bench, in the 90+8th minute of the match, Henderson received a yellow card for arguing with the referee. And shortly after the final whistle, the veteran England national team player's problems became even more serious.
The English won against the Mexicans in the match with a score of 3:2. Henderson, along with everyone else, ran onto the field to celebrate the victory, and afterwards, as the team headed to greet their fans, he landed awkwardly while jumping over advertising hoardings.
The footballer received medical assistance right on the field, after which he was carried out on a stretcher with an oxygen mask and taken to the hospital. England national team head coach Thomas Tuchel later confirmed that the midfielder would not be able to continue playing in the tournament. It is said that he has a wrist fracture.
Henderson consequently remained in Mexico City with a representative of the medical staff and did not return with the team to the training base in Kansas City.
Overall, in this World Cup, across five matches, he directly played only six minutes, coming on as a substitute in the group stage match against Panama.
