English soccer player Jordan Henderson has shared an update after suffering a freak arm injury while celebrating his team’s World Cup Round of 16 win over Mexico.
Henderson tried to hop over the advertising boards after England topped Mexico 3-2 at Mexico City Stadium in one of the best matches of the World Cup. However, his hand slipped off the top of the boards, and he hit the deck hard and awkwardly.
The fall left Henderson with a fractured wrist.
ENGLAND’S JORDAN HENDERSON OFFICIALLY RULED OUT AFTER FREAK FALL CAUSES FRACTURE, OPTS FOR SURGERY
It was revealed earlier this week that Henderson had opted for surgery, ruling him out of England’s quarterfinal against Norway and the remainder of the tournament.
On Wednesday, he provided an update that he had undergone surgery in Kansas City, which is where the Three Lions have been based through this World Cup.
Here’s to hoping Henderson is on the mend, because this is a brutal way to get your World Cup cut short.

There are few things in sports as brutal as getting injured while celebrating. It’s the ultimate high, followed by the ultimate, ego-bruising low.
And it’s not like Henderson was doing anything stupid, like trying to dunk the ball over the crossbar or wow the crowd with James Brown splits. He was just trying to hop over the advertising boards, something he has probably done hundreds of times.
But all it took was for one of those boards to be a tad slippery, and that was all she wrote. Next thing you know, he’s being taken off on a stretcher… for a fractured wrist.
That’s a rough way to go out, and it could’ve happened to anyone.

That’s the curse of winning, though.
You never hear about someone getting injured in the moments after suffering a soul-crushing defeat.
