Dan Burn was the first to rush to his stricken team-mate's aid, and thankfully medical assistance arrived shortly afterwards.Henderson is set to remain in Mexico City with a member of England's medical team on Monday while the rest of the squad return to Kansas City.

Manager Thomas Tuchel has confirmed it remains uncertain at this stage whether Henderson will require any surgical procedure.He said: "He injured his wrist, he's gone to hospital it's quite a serious injury. I don't know if there will be a procedure."Captain Harry Kane had initially offered an optimistic assessment of Henderson's condition, saying: " Jordan [Henderson] just fell over there, I think he's okay, just something to do with his arm." However, team-mate Jude Bellingham subsequently sparked concern by admitting: "He's in a bit bother but our medical team have it under control."England will now rest up and prepare for Erling Haaland's imperious Norway in Miami.
