The Three Lions' historic 3-2 victory over Mexico in the Azteca stadium was dampened after Henderson fell over an advertising hoarding, injuring his wrist.
Moments after the full-time whistle, medical teams could be seen rushing over to give the Brentford midfielder oxygen before carrying him off on a stretcher.
The former Liverpool captain was rushed to hospital and it was later confirmed he had broken his wrist and is out of the tournament.
It is understood the 36-year-old will require surgery on his wrist.

England manager Thomas Tuchel said the injury looked "really bad" and was "quite serious".
"Jordan [Henderson] just fell over and injured his wrist. It looks really bad," he told the BBC on Monday.
"It's a quite serious injury and it doesn't fit to the evening that Jordan is now not with us. The doctor told me he is in hospital."
Jude Bellingham said: “He’s in a bit of bother but our medical team have got everything under control probably. Best not to give too much detail when I don’t know too much what is going on.
"Everyone was there to support him and even that was a beautiful thing to see.”
Henderson's World Cup performance has been limited to a six-minute stretch in the final six minutes of England's game against Panama.
He will join Reece James, who has been dealing with a hamstring problem, on the sidelines.
The Three Lions will next come head-to-head with Norway on Saturday at 10pm BST in Miami after their 2-1 defeat over Brazil.
