Sky News is reporting that it understands Gary Lineker will return to hosting on the BBC. In a post it said: “ It’s understood the corporation will apologise to the Match of the Day presenter.

“It is unclear if he will be back on air for the FA Cup quarter-finals this weekend, but a BBC announcement is expected later today.”

Lineker “stepped back” from his presenting duties on Friday, prompting fellow pundits to refuse to present footballing programmes and leaving the BBC sports schedule in chaos.
