What happened: Jordan Henderson has returned to England's World Cup camp in Kansas City following successful surgery on a broken forearm. The Brentford midfielder sustained the injury after slipping over an advertising board during post-match celebrations following a round-of-16 victory over Mexico.

Why it matters: Although ruled out for the remainder of the tournament, Henderson remains with the squad to offer dressing room leadership. The 36-year-old previously made history in the group stage against Panama by becoming the first England player to appear in four World Cups.

What to watch: England faces Norway in the World Cup quarterfinals on Saturday.
