Jordan Henderson stretchered off, also booked during celebrations

sportsJul 6, 2026511,141

England midfielder Jordan Henderson was stretchered off after injuring his arm while celebrating England’s 3-2 last-16 win over Mexico at the Azteca Stadium. Teammates had gathered with travelling fans singing Oasis’s "Wonderwall" when Henderson attempted to jump over an advertising hoarding and fell, appearing to be in significant pain on the far side of the hoardings. Medics attended as Dan Burn and others signalled for help, Henderson received oxygen on the pitch and teammates formed a huddle as he was carried away on a stretcher. Harry Kane said in a post-match comment, "Jordan just fell over there, I think he's okay, just something to do with his arm," while Jude Bellingham said Henderson was "in a bit of bother" but that the medical team had things under control. England will now face Norway in the World Cup quarter-finals next week.

Unbelievable. In a game he played zero minutes in, Jordan Henderson got himself a yellow card and then needed to be stretchered off after injuring himself falling over the advertising board while singing #Wonderwall #MexEng *Just after the 55 second mark

Was he doing shots through the game??

Zero minutes played. One yellow card. One stretcher. That's an all-time efficiency record.

Maybe the real wonder wall was the advertising board you'll injure yourself.

I'm still mad more people didn't notice this off-court all-timer from Game 3 of this year's NBA Finals

I keep rewatching it and don’t see how he couldn’t make it over properly 😂 Is this a physics glitch? Did someone push him as he was climbing over?

Jordan Henderson didn’t play and has somehow been yellow carded and stretchered off.

Jordan Henderson getting a yellow card AND getting stretchered off injured without playing a single minute is unbelievable

England is now completely out of right backs against Norway?

A pity because he was set to start at RB against Norway

Sounds like he's properly effed himself up so may sidestep doodling this one. Get well soon you clumsy dope.

I am a Brentford supporter and my joy about the triumph of the three lions has turned to sadness because it is a serious injury

Don't let us down, it is comedy gold. He did it for you so there was a record of him doing something at the World Cup...

Taking the piss out of Jordan Henderson being stretchered off and needing oxygen as an unused sub might be the most English reaction to a victory ever.

Jordan Henderson picking up a yellow warming up as a sub. That's why he's in the squad. Taking one for the team.

Now it’s done I can have a good laugh at Jordan Henderson getting a yellow despite not stepping a foot on the pitch.

If anyone was going to react badly to the altitude it was going to be Jordan Henderson in all fairness. A man who rarely wears matching shoes.

Jordan Henderson breaking the shit out of his arm trying to go over the advertising hoarding is an all-timer of a "didn't actually happen during the game" sports injury.

I shouldn’t laugh but Jordan Henderson shouldn’t even be at this World Cup. He gets a yellow when not even being on the field of play and NOW he falls over the advertising hoarding and is stretchered off?! 🙄🤣
