It was probably a phone call that Jamie Carragher had been expecting.
With both Wes Brown and Joleon Lescott still injured, and Carragher’s Liverpool team-mate Glen Johnson struggling for fitness throughout the campaign, the Reds’ vice-captain wouldn’t have been too surprised at Fabio Capello’s third attempt to try and get him to come out of international retirement and play at his second World Cup. What was a surprise, was that this time he’s accepted.
Today’s call up to England’s provisional 30-man World Cup squad will surely be followed by a spot in the final 23 boarding the plane to South Africa. He played in all but one of Liverpool’s league matches in 2009/10, and so unlike Owen Hargreaves he won’t have to prove his fitness.
