Summary
Kansas City surgery for Jordan Henderson confirmed England's midfielder will miss the quarterfinal against Norway and the rest of the World Cup.
The fractured wrist came after England's 3-2 Round of 16 win over Mexico, when Henderson slipped trying to hop over advertising boards during the postmatch celebration.
The injury had already forced him out of England's next game, and Wednesday's update showed he has now undergone the operation while based with the squad in Kansas City.
England now heads into the knockout stage without a veteran player in a tournament run cut short by an off-ball celebration accident rather than match action.
