Impact Henderson's setback comes just as he'd worked his way back into full training and reestablished himself as Palace's undisputed number one following a standout campaign that included 37 starts, 11 clean sheets and a run of important saves down the stretch, plus an England start in the World Cup win over France. He'll train with the club's goalkeeping coaches Friday before a final call is made on his fitness. Walter Benitez is expected to start between the posts if Henderson is ultimately ruled out.

Impact Henderson started 37 of Palace's Premier League matches last season, keeping 11 clean sheets while making a series of important saves down the stretch. He capped his season by starting for England in the 6-4 win over France at the World Cup, his only appearance across eight matches for the Three Lions, making five saves in that outing. His return to club training now shifts focus to preseason preparations as he continues serving as Palace's undisputed number one.

Impact Henderson showed his shot-stopping skills after being chosen over Jordan Pickford for the only time in eight World Cup matches.

He'll now have several weeks of inactivity before starting another club season, where he'll likely play a consistent role.

He was beaten by Gabriel Jesus on a near-post finish in the 42nd minute and had no shot at stopping Noni Madueke's volley early in the second half, with neither goal falling on him. Henderson wraps the campaign with 37 Premier League starts, 11 clean sheets, and a career-high 106 saves, and now shifts focus to the Conference League final against Rayo Vallecano on May 27 in Basel before linking up with England for the 2026 World Cup.
