Henderson Set for Surgery After Freak Wrist Injury

7 Jul 2026

Jordan Henderson is expected to undergo surgery after injuring his wrist during England’s celebrations following the win over Mexico. The injury is a strange twist to an emotional night and is expected to end his involvement for the rest of the World Cup. England now have to adjust without one of their most experienced midfield voices. Henderson’s leadership has long been valued inside the squad, so his absence could matter even if his playing role had become more limited.
