An awkward moment in the Sky Sports studio saw Micah Richards and Daniel Sturridge check Jamie Carragher after he appeared to disregard the Africa Cup of Nations.

The trio were analysing Liverpool's impressive 2-0 win away to Manchester City in which Mo Salah scored one goal and set up another.

While debating the Egyptian's chances of lifting the coveted prize later this year, Sturridge claimed that former team-mate Salah has always wanted to be known 'the best in the world', but Carragher suggested that there an obstacle.

"I think the problem, the fact he's with Egypt and he's probably not playing in the major tournament as such, or maybe got a great chance of winning, I think it's either the Champions League or the major tournament," Carragher explained.

Liverpool will be in that conversation but right now he's certainly the front runner."

That prompted both Richards and Sturridge to check Carragher, with Richards arguing: "Just to say, AFCON is a major tournament because a lot of people will be at home saying, 'They aren't taking it serious'?

AFCON is a big tournament, just so you know."

Carragher responded by asking whether Egypt - who Salah captains - would be in contention to win 2026 World Cup, to which ex-City defender said: "No, but AFCON is big, isn't it?

Roy Keane, Daniel Sturridge, Micah Richards and Jamie Carragher were in the Sky Sports studio.

An exasperated Carragher replied: "Oh god," before Sturridge gave his firm take.
