\n

Henderson, who did not play in the match, was left devastated after joining enthusiastic Three Lions supporters celebrating Jude Bellingham’s brace and Harry Kane’s penalty which secured their place in the quarter-finals. The former Liverpool captain remained in Mexico City while his teammates returned to their home base in Kansas City and subsequently underwent surgery. His father Brian confirmed the 36-year-old will remain in the United States while England press on to the final on July 19, when the Three Lions play Norway for a place in the semi-finals on Saturday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Henderson Senior told Mail Online: “It’s his left forearm. He’s just completely broken it. He’s going to be put in a cast, but after that it’s up to the experts. He’s not going to be separated from his team-mates. He’ll be there until it’s over.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The Champions League and Premier League winner’s father, who is currently in England watching the World Cup from home, said he did not know the full extent of the injury at the time. BBC Sport television was unable to capture the incident, and it was only revealed during the post-match celebrations that a member of the England squad was injured and was receiving treatment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Newcastle United defender Dan Byrne was also the first to arrive on the scene and said Brian had been up all night waiting for news until the early hours of the morning. Bryan revealed that a surgeon with experience treating NFL stars had been secured to operate on the midfielder. “At first I thought he had fallen. I thought he had scraped his wrist.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cWhen they were interviewing Harry Kane, I didn’t think it was that serious until a trolley with Jordan on it came by and I could see him there with oxygen and stuff.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“I immediately messaged his PA over there to find out what happened. I was up all night waiting for the news. Now I’m just waiting for the game.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

On Tuesday, Henderson addressed the incident for the first time. The injury went viral after footage of England’s celebration inside the Aztecs was shown and was witnessed by millions of people around the world. Henderson’s bizarre and unfortunate World Cup moment was caught on camera as players and staff dispersed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The 36-year-old did not appear on the pitch against the host side, but he remained energetic from the touchline and was even booked in the closing stages. He said: “It was definitely an unforgettable night! They overcame all the challenges and put in a great performance. I’m so proud to be part of this special team (emoji). Thank you for all the support. Saturday is another big game.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
