Undergoes successful surgery
Henderson underwent surgery after breaking his forearm while celebrating England's 3-2 win over Mexico, ruling him out for the remainder of the World Cup, according to Blick.
Analysis: Henderson had featured for just six minutes at the tournament prior to the injury, appearing in the group stage win over Panama, and his freak celebration injury now removes an experienced option from England's midfield rotation for the knockout rounds. It remains unclear whether he will travel with the squad to Miami for the quarterfinal against Norway, though his involvement for the rest of the tournament is over regardless. His recovery timeline is expected to extend well beyond the World Cup given the surgical procedure required.
Wrist surgery ends tournament
Henderson (wrist) was ruled out for the remainder of the World Cup after requiring surgery on a wrist injury suffered during Sunday's 3-2 win over Mexico, according to TheAthletic.
Analysis: Henderson's tournament came to an unfortunate end following a freak injury sustained during post-match celebrations after England's round-of-16 victory. The midfielder was stretchered off and taken to a hospital in Mexico City after landing awkwardly, and he subsequently did not return with the squad to its training base. His absence removes an experienced option from the midfield rotation ahead of the knockout rounds. Henderson had featured as a veteran presence throughout the competition and now faces a recovery period that will extend beyond the World Cup.
