SportFootballJordan HendersonFormer Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson has seen his World Cup campaign cut short after a freak wrist injuryJordan Henderson's World Cup is over after it was revealed he needs surgery on a freak wrist injury sustained during England's celebration at the Azteca Stadium in Mexico.Thomas Tuchel's side came through an exacting assignment in the iconic Azteca in the early hours of Monday morning, winning 3-2 against Javier Aguirre's Mexico, despite playing well over 40 minutes with a man less after Jarell Quansah was sent off.After surviving the 11 minutes of stoppage time with 10 men to book a place in the quarter-finals, England were soaking up the celebrations with their fans when Henderson suffered the injury.The former Liverpool captain slipped as he attempted to jump over an advertising board and landed awkwardly before getting immediate treatment.After quickly being ushered over by Newcastle United's Dan Burn, Brentford midfielder Henderson was attended to by the medical staff and needed a stretcher and oxygen to leave the pitch.It's understood Henderson now needs to go under the knife to correct the issue and his World Cup campaign has come to a shuddering halt.Tuchel admitted the issue looked serious in his post-match press conference, conceding it put a dampener on what was a famous night for the Three Lions, who will now meet Norway for a place in the semi-finals.Tuchel said: "It's not good, not good, Jordan just fell over and injured his wrist, it looks really bad."He injured his wrist, he's gone to hospital it's quite a serious injury."It doesn't fit with the night. I don't know if there will be a procedure.
I’m sad because Jordan injured his wrist."Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham, who scored the first two goals of the night, added: "He is in a bit of bother, but our medical team have everything under control. "I’m not best to give too much detail as I do not know much going on, but everyone was there to support him.”FOLLOW OUR LIVERPOOL FC FACEBOOK PAGE!
