KANSAS CITY: England’s Jordan Henderson may be sidelined for the remainder ​of the World Cup after requiring surgery on the freak arm injury he suffered ​during celebrations after their 3-2 last-16 ​victory over Mexico.

The Brentford veteran ⁠landed awkwardly when he slipped while ​climbing over a barrier at the Azteca ​Stadium on Sunday, and video footage showed his forearm buckling.

After leaving the field on a stretcher ​and receiving oxygen, Henderson was taken ​to hospital in Mexico City and did not ‌travel ⁠back to England’s training base in Kansas City with the rest of Thomas Tuchel’s squad. A member of England’s medical staff ​stayed behind ​with ⁠him.

The 36-year-old Henderson was an unused substitute against Mexico, but ​the former Liverpool captain is among ​the ⁠squad’s most respected figures, providing leadership, experience and a calming influence.
