Footage shows how Liverpool icon Henderson suffered 'really bad' injury after England 3-2 Mexico

Jordan Henderson was stretchered off after suffering a freak injury following England's historic victory over Mexico at the 2026 World Cup.

After battling past DR Congo in the last 32, England were drawn to face co-hosts Mexico at the Azteca Stadium.

A lot of talk going into the match was about how the Three Lions would cope with the altitude and how they would fare playing in such a hostile atmosphere.

England rose to the task with flying colours as they secured a dramatic victory. Jude Bellingham notched a brace and Harry Kane got on the scoresheet as Thomas Tuchel's side, who were reduced to 10 men in the second half when Jarrel Quansah was shown a straight red card, held on to triumph 3-2.

There was concern for Henderson after he suffered a nasty injury during England's celebrations.

Henderson, despite not coming on to the bench, was extremely animated on the touchline during the final stages of the match. He picked up a booking for his behaviour on the sidelines.

After the referee blew the full-time whistle, the Brentford midfielder sprinted onto the pitch to celebrate alongside England's players.

However, he suffered a wrist injury after falling over the advertising hoardings during England's celebrations. According to the Mirror, his teammates appeared to form a huddle around him as he received treatment from medics.

He was later taken away on a stretcher and given oxygen. Footage has now emerged showing how he suffered the injury.

Bellingham spoke out about Henderson's injury following the match. He said:

"He's in a bit of bother, but the medical team have got everything under control, best to not give too much detail when I don't know too much what's going on, but everyone was there to support him and even that was a beautiful thing to see."

Harry Kane, who struggled to speak in his post-match interview after losing his voice, said: "Jordan [Henderson] just fell over there, I think he's okay, just something to do with his arm."

Boss Tuchel also provided a worrying update, saying: "Not good, not good, next thing is a right defender now with the red card, Jordan just fell over an injured his wrist, it looks really bad."

Henderson has played just six minutes for England at the 2026 World Cup, playing six minutes in his side's victory over Panama in the group stage.

England will now face Norway in the quarter-finals of the competition. Erling Haaland scored a brace as the Scandinavian side defeated Brazil 2-1 at New York New Jersey Stadium. It's currently unclear whether Henderson will be available to play.
