The England players had been celebrating with their travelling support after a instant classic of a win over Mexico at the Azteca Stadium.
Henderson was following Dan Burn back over the hoardings after singing Wonderwall and celebrating with the England fans.
But the wrist injury was so severe that he had to be stretched off the pitch and provided with gas and air.
Now, it’s believed Tuchel will forbid his England players from jumping over hoardings to avoid further mishaps.

He said: “Jordan just fell over and injured his wrist.
“It looks really bad. 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.”

The former Liverpool star did not travel back with the England squad immediately after the game in order to have his wrist tended to in Mexico City.
He is keen to remain with the England squad for the rest of the tournament, though, however long that lasts.
The 36-year-old is beloved within the camp and Tuchel brought him along for his experience and support as much as anything he can do on the pitch.
Jude Bellingham is believed to be especially close with Henderson and looks up to the 91-cap star.
England play Norway on Saturday night in the quarter-finals, but between predicted thunderstorms and sweltering heat that feels like 44 degrees, who knows if the game will kick off 10pm UK time as scheduled.
