England midfielder Jordan Henderson is facing a lengthy recovery after suffering a serious wrist injury during the team's World Cup campaign.
Henderson, 36, was seen falling awkwardly onto his left arm after tumbling over a barrier behind the goal in Mexico City. The former Liverpool captain was immediately surrounded by medical staff and was carried from the field on a stretcher, requiring oxygen before being transported to hospital.
The injury has forced Henderson out of the remainder of England's campaign, with the team's manager confirming that the midfielder will undergo surgery on his wrist in due course.
Speaking after the match, the team's manager described Henderson's injury as "really bad" and said that the doctor had informed him that the midfielder was in hospital.
Henderson has since taken to Instagram to address supporters, hailing England's "incredible" display before passing on his gratitude for the kind messages he had received in the aftermath.
"A night to remember that's for sure!" he wrote. "What an incredible performance against all the different challenges. So proud to be a part of this special team. Thanks for all the support, another big one Saturday."
Midfielder Marc Guehi has revealed that Henderson is already making good progress on the road to recovery, saying that the midfielder is "in a better place than he was yesterday" and that he is "on the road to a speedy recovery".
England will face Norway in their next match, with Guehi set to take on his club team-mate Erling Haaland, who has taken his goalscoring tally to seven in Norway's previous clash with Brazil.
