Jordan Henderson is set to stay with the England’s World Cup squad despite being ruled out of the tournament with a broken wrist following his freak injury in Mexico.

The 36-year-old slipped as he jumped over an advertising board during the celebrations following England’s 3-2 win at the Azteca Stadium.

Henderson landed awkwardly on his left arm and team-mate Dan Burn immediately signalled for medical help. 

The midfielder was attended to by medics and given oxygen, as England’s players formed a ring around their stricken comrade.

He was taken to hospital in Mexico City and did not return with the rest of the squad to their Kansas City base after the game.

Henderson will now undergo surgery and will miss any remaining matches, with England facing Norway in the quarter-final in Miami on Saturday.

Jordan Henderson suffered what appeared to be a horrific injury after England’s victory over Mexico

But so integral is the Brentford man to team spirit, it is thought he will remain with the squad in North America. 

Thomas Tuchel sees his leadership as a key component of the team’s success, and Henderson has embraced his role of senior standard-bearer around camp.

His loss leaves Tuchel with three midfielders in Declan Rice, Elliot Anderson and Kobbie Mainoo. The latter, however, is yet to feature at the tournament.

Henderson has played just six minutes of this World Cup, yet managed to pick up a yellow card against the Mexicans despite not coming onto the pitch.  

Captain Harry Kane told the BBC: ‘Jordan just fell over there, I think he’s OK, just something to do with his arm.’ Jude Bellingham added: ‘He’s in a bit of bother, but our medical team have got everything under control.

‘It’s probably best not to say too much when I don’t really know what was going on. But everyone was there to support him, and even that was a beautiful thing to see.’

Jude Bellingham scored twice to help England to a 3-2 win over Mexico at the Azteca Stadium

Following a delay of an hour, England’s clash at the Azteca eventually got underway at 2am, with Bellingham netting twice in the space of 98 seconds. 

The Real Madrid star, first, nodded home a Bukayo Saka cross before bundling another cross over the line just moments later.

But, from there, the Mexicans hit back. When Julian Quinones lashed home on the brink of half-time it appeared as though England may squander their lead.

However, after Jarell Quansah was sent off for a reckless challenge, Harry Kane later stepped up from the penalty spot to put Tuchel’s men 3-1 up. Raul Jimenez hit back with a penalty of his own, but England ultimately held on for a historic victory.

The Three Lions will now face Erling Haaland’s Norway in Miami on Saturday night, after the Vikings knocked out Brazil.

Tuchel said after the game: ‘A heroic performance and a heroic result. I’m so happy with the players, and also for me, to live this experience in the last two days. Such a special memory, and against all the adversity it makes it very special for us.

‘If a team has heart and belief then it’s this team. They did it on pure will. No words. Iconic match, iconic stadium, we overcame so much adversity today.’
