The 36-year-old was later taken to hospital on a stretcher, casting a shadow over one of England’s most famous World Cup victories.

The wild celebration ends with a visit to the hospital

Henderson did not feature in the thrilling game against Mexico but joined his team-mates on the pitch after the final whistle following England’s historic triumph at the iconic Estadio Azteca.However, the celebrations took a painful turn when the veteran midfielder appeared to lose his balance after climbing a billboard. He landed awkwardly on his wrist and was unable to continue, requiring immediate medical attention.Television cameras captured Henderson being placed on a stretcher before being transported from the stadium, while videos of the incident quickly spread across social media.WATCH:England manager Thomas Tuchel confirmed after the match that the injury looked serious.“Jordan just fell and hurt his wrist. It looks really bad,” Tuchel told BBC One. “It’s a pretty serious injury and it doesn’t suit the evening that Jordan isn’t with us right now. The doctor told me he’s in the hospital.”Tuchel later reiterated that he had “mixed feelings” after the famous win.“I’m sad because Jordan injured his wrist and it’s pretty serious. It just doesn’t fit with a night when Jordan isn’t with us,” he said. “I don’t know the procedure, the doctor told me he is in the hospital.

Tuchel welcomes England’s fighting spirit

Despite Henderson’s injury, Tuchel praised his players for producing one of England’s best World Cup performances.England, reduced to 10 men after Jarell Quansah’s red card early in the second half, held off relentless Mexican pressure to secure a dramatic 3-2 victory and book a quarter-final meeting with Norway.“I am very proud,” said Tuchel. “We needed everything. It was super difficult. In the moments when we thought we could catch the momentum, we had setbacks. That’s the right mentality. This team means it. When the going gets tough, they never give up, they never lose faith. It was a step up.”Reflecting on the significance of the occasion, he added: “We have to embrace it. This is Azteca, this is Mexico, a crazy game. We left everything there, every single one of us.”“If the team has heart and the team believes in sheer will. I’m speechless, an iconic game in an iconic stadium and we overcame so much adversity today.”England’s win, inspired by Jude Bellingham’s first-half brace and Harry Kane’s penalty, ended Mexico’s unbeaten World Cup record at the Estadio Azteca and sent the Three Lions into their 11th World Cup quarter-final.
