Jordan Henderson had to have surgery on his wrist following an injury that occurred while celebrating England's victory over Mexico in the round of 16. He has since returned to the English side to continue the preparation before the quarter-final against Norway.
The 36-year-old Henderson had been replaced from the starting XI in the match against Mexico last Sunday at Mexico City's Azteca Stadium.

Missouri.

Unfortunately, this injury permanently eliminates Henderson from the World Cup, depriving England of one of its experienced executives. His coach, Thomas Tuchel, said he was "sad" after the incident, stressing the severity of the injury.
Henderson played only one match at this World Cup, in the group stage against Panama, where he entered the second half. This qualification marked his 91st selection, making him the first English player to participate in four World Cup editions, a personal feat recalled by the player himself who had expressed his pride in being present again in 2026.
England, which has never won a World Cup since its coronation in 1966, hopes to continue its great adventure despite this major absence. Saturday's match against Norway promises to be crucial for the men of Tuchel, eager to go as far as possible in the competition.
