He wasn\u2019t even playing when it happened.<\/p>\n<p>Henderson was an unused substitute in England\u2019s dramatic 3-2 victory over Mexico in the round of 16. The injury came not from a tackle or a sprint, but from attempting to climb advertising hoardings during the team\u2019s celebrations. He was stretchered off, given oxygen, and transported to a hospital in Mexico City. England manager Thomas Tuchel described it as \u201cquite serious.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>England\u2019s tournament outlook<\/h2>\n<p>Henderson is the first male England player to appear in four World Cups. Tuchel\u2019s squad was already thin in midfield options before Henderson\u2019s freak accident. While he wasn\u2019t in the starting XI against Mexico, his absence removes a leadership presence and a reliable option for late-game scenarios.<\/p>\n<p>Recovery estimates suggest Henderson could be sidelined for approximately 12 weeks, effectively ruling him out of any scenario where England advances deeper into the bracket. A 12-week recovery timeline would push his return into the early stages of the European season, potentially complicating his integration with Ajax, the club he recently signed with.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Disclosure:<\/strong> This article was edited by Editorial Team.
