BBC Director-General Tim Davie has apologised after Gary Lineker was told to step back from presenting Match Of The Day (MOTD) in a row over impartiality and said he will return to hosting coverage this weekend.
A host of sports presenters and pundits pulled out of BBC shows at the weekend after the former England striker was told to step back from hosting MOTD.
The action was taken after the 62-year-old presenter compared the language used to launch a new government asylum seeker policy with 1930s Germany.
Lineker said on Monday that he is glad that a resolution had been found, adding that he looks forward to getting "back on air".
