'He can’t always do this': Micah Richards reveals his biggest fear over the future of key pundit

Micah Richards has opened up about his concerns regarding the popular CBS Sports Champions League show.

Richards, along with Kate Abdo, Jamie Carragher, and Thierry Henry, forms the panel for CBS's Champions League coverage. Their on-screen chemistry has made them favourites among viewers. However, in a recent interview with The Athletic, Richards shared his biggest fear about the show's future.

He said: "We’ve got something special here, and I’m not saying it for the sake of saying it. I think we could do this for another 10 years. But I only think it works if we all stay together. That is my biggest fear."

"We don’t know where Thierry will be. At that moment he is allowed to do both (Henry is the coach for the Under-21 French national team), but if he takes a Premier League job or a Serie A or La Liga job, he can’t always do this.

"So that is my fear. The question is for Theirry. He probably can’t give us any guarantees. But for me, I want to be doing CBS for as long as I possibly can."

Henry added: "If we’re not together, I don’t think it will be the exact same show."

"What’s going to happen after my two years with the Under-21 (which ends in summer 2025)? I don’t know what’s going to happen. All I know is right now I’m happy to be here and don’t want to miss anything. I don’t know where my mind is going to be in two years. Do I still want to coach? I don’t know."
