The former England striker was restored to his presenting role for live coverage of Manchester City’s 6-0 thrashing of Burnley on Saturday.
GARY LINEKER WILL not present the BBC’s FA Cup coverage on Sunday after losing his voice following his on-screen return.
Lineker was criticised for comparing the launch of the UK government’s new asylum policy to the rhetoric of Nazi-era Germany.However, his removal sparked chaos across the BBC’s sporting coverage as presenters, pundits and commentators showed their backing for Lineker by refusing to work. I’ve been silenced…. literally, by a nasty cold so, annoyingly, won’t be working at @OfficialBHAFC this afternoon.Lineker, who is the BBC’s highest paid presenter, said “it’s great to be here” as he fronted live coverage from the Etihad.
“Due to illness, we’ve got a line-up change for today’s live FA Cup coverage of Brighton v Grimsby on BBC One,” BBC Sport tweeted.
