Christian Eriksen and Wolfsburg
Thursday

Christian Eriksen will begin individual rehabilitation in Denmark after collapsing during a friendly against Ukraine last month. Wolfsburg confirmed the 34-year-old is doing well and will complete his programme at home while the club remains in contact.

Eriksen said the episode differed from his Euro 2020 cardiac arrest and that his ICD protected him as designed. The former Manchester United and Tottenham midfielder has continued playing in leagues where ICD use is permitted.

Christian Pulisic, USMNT and AC Milan
After the United States’ World Cup defeat by Belgium

Christian Pulisic suffered a leg microfracture and bone bruise during the USMNT’s 4-1 World Cup exit to Belgium. The injury happened when he struck Youri Tielemans’ calf while attempting a shot in the second half.

Pulisic tried to continue but was substituted after hobbling through several minutes and later appeared on crutches at the team hotel. Medical checks suggest he will miss several weeks, with an August return possible before AC Milan’s season begins.

Amadou Onana, Belgium and Aston Villa
After Belgium’s win over the United States

Belgium midfielder Amadou Onana has ruptured the ACL in his right knee and is out of the World Cup. The Aston Villa player went off 21 minutes into Belgium’s 4-1 last-16 win over the United States.

Belgium’s team doctor called the injury devastating, with Onana seen on crutches and wearing a knee brace after the match. He will remain with the squad for now, but typical ACL recoveries can sideline players for six to nine months.

Jamal Musiala and Bayern Munich
After Germany’s World Cup exit

Jamal Musiala has undergone planned routine surgery after returning from World Cup duty with Germany. Bayern Munich said the procedure was not linked to a fresh injury and forms part of his long-term medical management.

The operation follows last year’s fibula fracture and ankle dislocation suffered against Paris Saint-Germain at the Club World Cup. Bayern expect Musiala to follow a structured pre-season programme and be ready for the new campaign.

Jordan Henderson and England
After England’s win over Mexico

Jordan Henderson is expected to need surgery on the wrist he injured while celebrating England’s 3-2 World Cup win over Mexico. The 36-year-old fell over advertising hoardings at the Azteca Stadium and left on a stretcher.

Henderson went to hospital in Mexico City and did not travel back immediately with England’s squad. He is keen to remain with the team, but the injury casts major doubt over his availability for the rest of the tournament.

Reece James and England
Before Saturday’s World Cup quarter-final

Thomas Tuchel expects Reece James to be available for England’s World Cup quarter-final against Norway. The Chelsea captain has missed three matches with a hamstring injury, but England hope he can return to full training this week.

James’ return would ease a growing right-back crisis after Jarell Quansah’s red card against Mexico. Djed Spence, Ezri Konsa, John Stones, Quansah, Declan Rice and James have all filled right-sided defensive roles during the tournament.

Neymar and Brazil
After Brazil’s World Cup defeat by Norway

Neymar has said his Brazil career is over after the Selecao were knocked out of the World Cup by Norway. The 34-year-old scored a late penalty, but it was only a consolation in the 2-1 defeat.

The emotional forward said he started and finished his Brazil journey at MetLife Stadium, where he debuted in 2010. Neymar ends as Brazil’s record scorer with 80 goals and second-most capped player behind Cafu internationally.

Jordan Henderson and England
After England’s win over Mexico

Jordan Henderson suffered a serious-looking wrist injury while celebrating England’s 3-2 World Cup win over Mexico. The 36-year-old midfielder appeared to fall awkwardly from the advertising hoardings and left the pitch on a stretcher after full-time.

Thomas Tuchel said Henderson was taken to hospital and would not travel back with the squad immediately. The injury further reduces England’s available depth before the Norway quarter-final, with Reece James sidelined and Quansah suspended.

Ismael Saibari and Morocco
During Morocco’s win over Canada

Morocco midfielder Ismael Saibari was forced off after 20 minutes of the 3-0 World Cup win over Canada, clutching his right thigh. The new Bayern Munich signing left visibly distressed, creating fresh concern before Morocco face France next.

Saibari had been one of Morocco’s standout players, scoring three goals before the knockout stage and recently completing a reported €50m move from PSV. Soufiane Rahimi replaced him and later scored, but his absence could damage Morocco’s title hopes.

Alphonso Davies and Canada
After Canada’s World Cup defeat by Morocco

Alphonso Davies says it was his own decision not to play in Canada’s World Cup elimination against Morocco. The Bayern Munich left-back felt his hamstring was not ready, despite running at half-time and being described as available before kick-off.

Jesse Marsch said an MRI showed no fresh injury, but Davies still did not feel right after training. Canada chose caution because of his repeated hamstring issues, leaving their captain on the bench during the biggest match in programme history.
