England midfielder Jordan Henderson appeared to sustain an injury during postgame celebrations and had to be stretchered off after his team’s 3-2 win over Mexico in the World Cup round of 16.
Down to 10 men for nearly the entire second half, England held on to defeat the co-hosts at the Estadio Azteca in Mexico City, one of the most daunting venues in the world.
Harry Kane told the BBC that Henderson had fallen, but he thought his teammate was alright. Defender Dan Burn also confirmed that it was Henderson who had been stretched off.
Henderson’s status was not immediately clear about 30 minutes after the match ended, but England manager Thomas Tuchel and other players will speak to the media shortly.
Henderson did not play in the match, but received a yellow card for his conduct on the sidelines.
