England midfielder Jordan Henderson has turned the corner following surgery on his left wrist and is focused on the club's World Cup quarterfinal match against Norway.

"Surgery done! Now let's get ready for the big one Saturday," Henderson said in an Instagram post.

Henderson sustained his injury after tripping over an advertising board at Azteca Stadium in Mexico City to celebrate England's 3-2 win over Mexico on Sunday. He was in obvious pain after trying to break his fall. Multiple teammates immediately called for medical assistance and Henderson was later stretchered off the field.

Henderson, 36, rejoined the team at its camp in Kansas City as it prepares to face Norway on Saturday in Miami Gardens, Fla. He has been ruled out for the remainder of the World Cup.

Henderson became England's first man to appear in four different World Cups when he came on against Panama during the group stage. He did not get into Sunday's match but was shown a yellow card during the second half for actions on the sideline.
