Thomas Tuchel‘s side incredibly held on to beat the co-hosts 3-2 at the Azteca Stadium in the early hours of Monday morning.

And they celebrated in style, walking off the pitch and closer to the stands, singing with the supporters in front of them.

However, after singing ‘Wonderwall’ and other England anthems, disaster struck as Henderson took a tumble.

He was seen tripping over the hoardings as he looked to re-enter the pitch, before being surrounded by his teammates.

Dan Burn was the first to get to Henderson, who stayed down and looked in a lot of pain after falling over.

Burn waved his arms, asking for the medical team to come over and help out his teammate amid the celebrations.

Following that treatment, Henderson eventually left the pitch on a stretcher, being given oxygen as he departed.

And it’s understood that he has now been taken to hospital due to his injuries.

‘It looks really bad’

After an initial confusion over why medics were helping out an England star on the pitch, Harry Kane cleared things up.

He said post-match without any extra information: “Hendo just fell over there, I think he’s okay. Something to do with his arm.”

And then Jude Bellingham, who scored two goals against Mexico at the Azteca, gave a little bit more insight.

The Real Madrid superstar revealed: “He’s in a bit of bother, but our medical team have got it under control….

“Everyone was there to support him and even that was something beautiful to see.”

But Tuchel then gave a worrying reality check, telling the BBC: “Jordan just fell over and injured his wrist, it looks really bad.”

A strange end to a special World Cup match

Henderson’s injury has put a slight negative note on what was one of the best World Cup matches we’ve ever seen.

England held on to beat co-hosts Mexico 3-2 at the Azteca, hanging on with 10 men in the final stages of the game.

Bellingham scored two in the first half, with Kane netting a penalty which turned out to be the winning goal.

The Three Lions are now into the World Cup quarter-finals, where they will face Norway on Saturday, July 11.

Henderson will hope that he’s fit to feature in that clash.

But if the first signs are anything to go by, then he won’t be playing for England in the tournament anytime soon.
