Henderson has surgery in USA after breaking arm

Jordan Henderson has had surgery after breaking his arm during the celebrations of England's win over Mexico on Sunday. The Brentford midfielder suffered the freak injury as he fell awkwardly after attempting to jump over the advertising hoardings at the side of the pitch. Henderson, who did not play during the match, was carried on a stretcher away from the pitch while receiving oxygen. Henderson posted on social media to say he had surgery in Kansas City, thanking the staff at the Kansas City Orthopaedic Institute and the three surgeons who carried out the operation. The 36-year-old will remain with the squad for the duration of the tournament and be around as the squad prepare to play Norway in the quarter-final in Miami on Saturday. It is understood England manager Thomas Tuchel is set to instruct his players to avoid jumping over the hoardings to ensure there is no repeat of Henderson's injury.
