Jordan Henderson has undergone successful surgery in Kansas City after he suffered a wrist injury in the aftermath of England’s famous win against Mexico.

The 36-year-old sustained a nasty injury when he fell and landed awkwardly while climbing back over the advertising hoardings during the celebrations of the 3-2 success at the Azteca.

He was carried away on a stretcher and taken to hospital in the Mexican capital while the rest of the team returned to their Kansas City base.

The Brentford midfielder went under the knife once he returned to the Midwest as he begins the road to recovery.

“Surgery done! Let’s get ready for the big one Saturday,” he posted on Instagram.

“Thank you to all the staff that looked after me at Kansas City orthopaedic institute. Especially the three surgeons who carried out the operation.” Henderson’s tournament appears to be over from a playing side, but the veteran, who is at his fourth World Cup and made a substitute appearance in the 2-0 win over Panama, is expected to stay in camp for the remainder of England’s journey.

Thomas Tuchel’s men returned to training on Wednesday as they step up preparations for Saturday’s quarter-final with Norway in Miami.
