He jumped a fence to cheer a big win. Now his World Cup is over.

England player Jordan Henderson broke his wrist during the post-game cheers and will miss the rest of the games.

Imagine the joy of winning a huge match, only to lose your entire dream seconds later in a freak fall. That is the heartbreak facing one of England’s oldest players today.

What Happened

England just beat Mexico 3-2 in a wild World Cup match at the Azteca Stadium. The team ran to cheer with their fans.

Jordan Henderson wanted to join the party. The 36-year-old Brentford player tried to jump over the ad boards on the sideline.

He fell hard on his arm. He broke his wrist and now needs surgery, which ends his run in the games.

Fact Box

• England beat Mexico 3-2 at Azteca Stadium.
• Jordan Henderson is 36 years old.
• He plays as a midfielder for Brentford.
• He broke his wrist jumping over ad boards.
• He is out for the rest of the matches.

Why It Matters

At 36, this was likely Henderson's last chance to play on the world stage. Even from the bench, his wise words help the young stars stay calm.

Now, England must chase the cup without one of their best leaders in the locker room.

What Happens Next

Henderson will fly home or go to a clinic to fix his wrist. The rest of the England squad must get ready for their next big game.

Brentford will also watch closely, as they need their player fit for league games.

What We Still Don't Know

• How long will Henderson take to heal from his wrist fix?
• Will England call up a new player to take his spot?
• Did Henderson get a card from the ref while on the bench?
