Carragher replaced Ledley King at half-time against the USA as the Spurs defender picked up a groin problem.
“Hopefully I’ll play, Ledley did his groin early on and did well to battle on to half-time, but it’s a squad thing now,” said Carragher.
“We have a couple of injuries in that area of the team. If I can get a chance, I would love to take it. That’s one of the reasons I came back.
“I wasn’t stupid. I knew I was coming here as a squad player, that I wasn’t a starter, and so I was delighted to get on against USA and hopefully will get another chance.
“To play in another World Cup for England is a great thing for me and I’m proud of that from a personal point of view.
“The main thing now is that hopefully I can get a run in the team and we can get through the group.”
