Jordan Henderson is on the mend after a freak accident during England’s World Cup celebrations in Mexico! The England midfielder broke his wrist during a post-match celebration after the thrilling 3-2 victory over Mexico. Jumping over advertising hoardings to greet ecstatic fans, he landed awkwardly and ended up needing surgery.
From his hospital bed, Henderson took to Instagram to share an update. He thanked the medical team at Kansas City Orthopaedic Institute for their amazing care, and confirmed that the surgery was a success. “Surgery done! Let’s get ready for the big one on Saturday,” he wrote.
Despite being ruled out of the quarter-final against Norway, Henderson’s spirit is unshakeable. He plans to stick around with the team, boosting morale with his presence. Known for his leadership, Henderson’s involvement off the pitch remains invaluable.
Team-mates like Marcus Rashford and Morgan Rogers flooded his post with heart emojis, while clubs, including Brentford, wished him a speedy recovery. His dad, Brian, watching from the UK, was initially unaware of the injury’s severity until spotting him on a stretcher live on TV.
Though his World Cup playing time is unfortunately cut short, Henderson remains an integral part of England’s journey. All eyes are now on Saturday, where England sprints off to face Norway with Henderson cheering from the sidelines. 🔥💪⚽❤️
Join in cheering for England as they aim for victory this week! 🏆🇬🇧
