England beat Mexico 3-2 at the Estadio Azteca and sealed its place in the quarterfinals of the 2026 World Cup. The euphoria was total. Jude Bellingham had scored a brace, Harry Kane converted a penalty, and the whole team ran to celebrate with the crowd. 🎉

There, in the middle of the celebration, 36-year-old Jordan Henderson tried to jump over an advertising board. He lost his balance and fell hard on his arm. The medical team immobilized him on the field and took him off on a stretcher under the stunned gaze of his teammates. 😳

Coach Thomas Tuchel confirmed that the wrist injury is serious, and Henderson was transferred to a hospital in Mexico City that same night. Now his presence for the remainder of the tournament, with England already focused on Norway, is in serious doubt. Harry Kane tried to play down the scare, but the image had already gone around the world.
