Kate Abdo stars as host and is normally joined alongside a punditry trio of Thierry Henry, Carragher and Richards.

But the desk will look slightly different on Wednesday night for their coverage of Borussia Dortmund vs Paris Saint-Germain, which is live on talkSPORT.

Carragher will make the journey to Germany for the match and so his spot in the studio will be need to be filled, with an Italian legend taking his place.

During their Tuesday night coverage, Abdo teased who it will be: “Who is going to be replacing Jamie Carragher in the studio? Find out after the break.”

“Whoever it is won’t be better than me,” Carragher confidently claimed with a cheeky grin.

After the break he asked who was replacing him and Abdo replied: “Everybody, breaking news, [Alessandro] Del Piero for Carragher tomorrow.”

Henry expressed his surprise but remained calm, with his co-pundits Carragher and Richards very much the opposite.

The former swung back in his chair and disbelief and the latter, with his fists pumped in celebration, shouted: “Yes! Finally!”
