Jordan Henderson remains in England squad despite broken arm
Jordan Henderson fractured his arm while attempting to jump over an advertising hoarding after England's 3-2 win over Mexico at the Estadio Azteca. He underwent surgery in Kansas City, the team's base for the tournament, and has said he is not ruling himself out of future matches. Manager Thomas Tuchel is considering the possibility of Henderson featuring in a cast, and the midfielder will stay with the squad for the remainder of the World Cup.
Teammate Morgan Rogers praised Henderson’s influence, stating, "That just shows what he is like as a person and as a guy… He is kind of the heartbeat of the group." Henderson, 36, became the first male player to appear at four World Cups, and his leadership remains a key asset for England.
