Henderson injured in England celebrations
England reporter in Kansas City Published 8 July 2026, 16:28 BST Updated 26 minutes ago Jordan Henderson has not been ruled out of playing for England again during the World Cup despite undergoing surgery on a broken arm.
The Brentford midfielder suffered the freak injury as he fell awkwardly after attempting to jump over the advertising hoardings at the side of the pitch.
Henderson, who did not play during the match, was carried on a stretcher away from the pitch while receiving oxygen.
The 36-year-old posted on social media , external on Wednesday about having surgery in Kansas City, where England's base is for the duration of the tournament.
And it is understood that, even though it could be considered a long shot, Henderson could still be included in matchday squads for the remaining games and the possibility of playing in a cast will be explored.
"That just shows what he is like as a person and as a guy," said Aston Villa forward Morgan Rogers when asked about Henderson's impact around the squad.
"I think hopefully he can still be involved with us for the rest of the tournament.
"He's not going to rule himself out and neither are we. I think the belief he has got in his own body, his ability and his confidence and the way he is and what he kind of represents as a person is massive to our group.
"He is kind of the heartbeat of the group. To see him this morning smiling and to see him as happy as he is no matter what has happened in the last 48 hours is nice to see, and hopefully we can get him out on the pitch as soon as possible."
Henderson will remain with the squad for the duration of the tournament.

Henderson's injury adds to his selection worries, though, as he prepares for Saturday's quarter-final against Norway in Miami.

Centre-back Guehi sat out training as a precaution because of a muscular problem, while midfielder Rice is managing an issue with his hamstring and lower back.
Full-back James has not played since picking up a hamstring problem in the opening game against Croatia.
There is no suggestion the trio will be unavailable for the Norway game.
