England Players Banned From Jumping Billboards After Henderson Injury
England's players have been banned from jumping over advertising boards after midfielder Jordan Henderson suffered a wrist injury attempting to climb one during the World Cup Round of 16 against Mexico.
England's national team players have been instructed to avoid jumping over advertising boards to prevent a repeat of Jordan Henderson's injury that ended his World Cup campaign.
According to BBC reports, England's players have been cautioned against jumping over pitch-side advertising boards to avoid the fate of midfielder Jordan Henderson, who was forced out of the 2026 World Cup due to this exact incident.
Henderson suffered his injury following England's 3-2 victory over co-hosts Mexico in the Round of 16 on July 5th. While attempting to climb over an advertising board, he misjudged and fell awkwardly to the ground, forcing him to leave the pitch.
Reports indicated that Henderson's wrist injury could potentially require surgery, ruling out the 36-year-old from participating in the remainder of the tournament.
Manager Thomas Tuchel has now instructed players to avoid climbing or jumping over advertising boards to prevent similar incidents from occurring again. Henderson will continue to remain with the squad through the end of the World Cup campaign.
