KANSAS CITY, ⁠Missouri, July 8 (Reuters) - England ⁠midfielder Jordan Henderson has ‌rejoined the squad in Kansas City after undergoing surgery on ​a broken arm incurred ⁠during celebrations ⁠after Sunday's World Cup last-16 ⁠win ‌over Mexico.

The 36-year-old slipped climbing over ⁠a barrier at Mexico City's ​Azteca ‌Stadium and later underwent surgery ⁠in ​Kansas City.

"Surgery done! Now let's get ready for ⁠the big one Saturday!" ​Henderson posted on Instagram on Wednesday.

The injury rules Henderson ⁠out of playing during the tournament but the former Liverpool captain remains part ​of Thomas ⁠Tuchel's squad in terms of ​leadership.

England face ‌Norway in the quarter-finals ​on Saturday in Miami.
