England coach Thomas Tuchel has issued a decision requiring his players not to jump when celebrating scoring a goal in the 2026 World Cup quarter-final match.
England, who reached the quarter-finals in the 2022 edition, will face Norway, who are qualifying for the first time in their history for this advanced stage of the tournament after knocking out the Brazilian national team in the round of sixteen (2-1) in a match in which Erling Haaland was the hero.
England star Jordan Henderson's celebration of teammate Harry Kane's decisive third goal against Mexico (3-2) last Monday in the round of 16 caused him to fall off an advertising board and break his arm, ending his World Cup campaign.
The 36-year-old midfielder suffered a serious injury to his wrist and arm while celebrating with his teammates their victory over Mexico after attempting to jump over advertising boards.
According to the BBC, this unusual injury prompted the England coach to take decisive action, with strict instructions now given to players not to jump over advertising boards during their celebrations to prevent a recurrence of a similar incident.
The match will be held at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, USA, on July 12 at midnight.
