Veteran England midfielder Jordan Henderson has seemingly injured his wrist during celebrations for England’s 3-2 win over Mexico.

The incident happened shortly after England sang Oasis’ “Wonderwall” with the Three Lions supporters. Afterwards, Henderson attempted to hop the wall behind the goal, but clipped his foot on the way down and fell on his face, attempting to brace himself with his left arm.

Defender Dan Burn quickly alerted medical staff to the potential injury, as Henderson was grabbing at his left wrist. Henderson was then stretchered off the field.

Henderson, 36, has made one appearance in this World Cup, playing seven minutes of England’s group stage win over Panama.
