Overview
- Henderson broke the radius in his left forearm while attempting to jump an advertising board during post-match celebrations after England's win over Mexico and was stretchered off receiving oxygen.
- Medical staff confirmed the injury required surgery and England have officially ruled the 36-year-old midfielder out of the remainder of the tournament.
- Brian Henderson, the player’s father, described seeing his son leave the pitch on a stretcher and said the forearm was badly damaged and will be immobilised in a cast pending specialist assessment.
- Two days after the operation Henderson posted on Instagram to thank supporters, praised the team’s performance, and said the night would be remembered fondly.
- Henderson will stay in the United States to support his teammates, a development that removes an experienced midfield option and could alter England’s rotation and tactics for the quarterfinal in Miami.
