  • WHAT HAPPENED?

    The Liverpool legend was on the CBS panel for their Champions League coverage on Wednesday but an unspecified illness cut short his duties on the night. The ex-defender left at half-time of the 8pm (GMT) kick-offs, leaving Kate Scott, Thierry Henry, and Micah Richards to front the show.

    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    When the half-time show began, Richards and Henry questioned where Carragher – who was at Anfield on Tuesday for Liverpool's Champions League loss to Paris Saint-Germain – had gone. That led host Scott to explain that the former England international had fallen ill.

  • DID YOU KNOW?

    To start the CBS show, Scott poked fun at Carragher as part of her introduction. She said: "Hello, welcome to our London studios. I am Kate Scott and I am once again joined by Thierry Henry and Micah Richards. Tonight, just like the story of the prodigal son. A bit too big for his boots, he thought life would be sweeter on the road. He thought he would be away, enjoying drinking and revelling, but he took a major loss and realised his foolishness. He came home, humbled. Hoping that he would be accepted. Jamie Carragher, back in the chair."
