Jamie Carragher has provided a health update after being forced to leave CBS's Champions League coverage early on Wednesday night due to illness.
The Liverpool legend was absent from the half-time show onwards, prompting concern from viewers.
Fellow panellists Thierry Henry and Micah Richards questioned his whereabouts when the half-time analysis began.
Host Kate Scott explained to them and the audience that Carragher had fallen ill, leading to worry among fans about the former England defender's condition.
Carragher's unexpected departure left Henry, Richards and Scott to cover the remaining proceedings without him.
The unspecified illness was serious enough for the former defender to cut his duties short midway through the broadcast.
There was no visible indication that Carragher was unwell during the early part of the show, where he had been in good spirits.

However, the Reds icon later reassured fans with an update on his Instagram story late Wednesday night.
"Feeling better now and just checking if the team can cope without me," he posted.
The message was accompanied by a photo of his colleagues Abdo, Richards and Henry continuing the broadcast without him.

"Hello, welcome to our London studios. I am Kate Scott and I am once again joined by Thierry Henry and Micah Richards," she began.
She continued with a humorous comparison: "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 came home, humbled. Hoping that he would be accepted. Jamie Carragher, back in the chair."
