Last night, England clinched a thrilling victory over Mexico (2-3) to secure a spot in the quarter-finals of this 2026 World Cup.

However, this spectacular win was marred by unfortunate news. Jordan Henderson suffered a serious wrist injury during the celebrations. England manager Thomas Tuchel expressed his deep concern for his midfielder.

"It's a very special night for us. I have mixed feelings, because I'm both exhausted and moved, but also sad, as Jordan got injured: he hurt his wrist and is currently in the hospital. It's quite a serious injury, and the fact that Jordan is no longer with us puts a damper on this evening. I don't know all the details—I just finished a press conference and the doctor told me he was in hospital," the German manager shared with BBC microphones.
