During the celebrations following England's exhilarating Round of 16 win against Mexico, player Jordan Henderson sustained a severe wrist injury, as disclosed by manager Thomas Tuchel on Monday.
Although Henderson did not participate in the match, he was taken off the field on a stretcher after an awkward fall from the advertising boards post England's 3-2 victory. Tuchel mentioned on BBC One, "Jordan Henderson just fell over and injured his wrist. It looks really bad. It's a quite serious injury and it doesn't fit to the evening that Jordan is now not with us. The doctor told me he is in hospital."

Post-match, Tuchel expressed his admiration for the team, who managed to maintain their lead despite being reduced to ten players after defender Jarell Quansah received a red card in the 54th minute. "I am very proud. We needed everything. It was super difficult. In the moments we thought we could catch the momentum, we had setbacks. That is proper mentality. This team really mean it. When the going gets tough, they never give up; they never lose belief. It was one step more," he stated. "We need to take this in. This is Azteca, it's Mexico, a crazy game. We left everything out there, every single one of us. We need to take this in; now it's full steam ahead. If a team has heart and a team has belief on pure will. I have no words, an iconic match in an iconic stadium and we overcame so much adversity today," he added.
