- ITV: ‘Ian’s standing in the sport is beyond question’
- Broadcaster has rights to England matches this summer
ITV has offered strong public backing to Ian Wright in its first public comment since he was criticised by Eni Aluko. Last Wednesday, Aluko said Wright “should be aware of” how much punditry work he was doing in women’s football and that it was important “women are not being blocked from having a pathway into broadcasting in the women’s game”.
The former England and Chelsea forward issued an apology on Friday on Instagram, to which Wright responded on the same platform on Saturday by saying he could not accept it.
