England continues in the competition

The FIFA World Cup 2026 continues to deliver unexpected stories. On Sunday, July 5, England defeated Mexico 3-2 in a thrilling Round of 16 match. The result unleashed euphoria in the British team, which celebrated intensely on the stadium's grass. However, the joy turned into concern when Jordan Henderson, the team's key player, suffered an injury in the midst of the celebration.

The accident

The midfielder tried to jump over an advertising barrier to join the fans, but the move went wrong, he fell, and lay on the ground. His teammates immediately surrounded him, and medical assistance came in to attend to him. The scene, captured by the cameras, initially caused confusion, as no one understood why Henderson was motionless after the victory. As the minutes went by, it became known that the accident occurred during the celebration.

The medical report

The initial reports mention a possible fracture in the arm. Although the official report from the doctors is still pending, the outlook is not encouraging. If the injury is confirmed, Henderson would miss the next match against Norway in the quarter-finals and, if England advances, he would also miss the semi-finals. A significant loss for Tuchel, who had already highlighted the importance of the midfielder as a leader both on and off the field.
