Gary Lineker is to return to presenting sport on the BBC after he was taken off air over his tweets criticising the government's migration policy, Sky Sports News understands.
It follows a chaotic few days which saw reduced football coverage across the BBC over the weekend as pundits, commentators and other staff refused to work in protest of Lineker's removal from the show.Saturday night's Match Of The Day aired for just 20 minutes without commentary, pundit analysis, post-match interviews and its theme music.
Lineker was criticised by Conservative politicians after comparing the language used in the government's new asylum policy with 1930s Germany. On Friday, the BBC announced Lineker would"step back" from hosting the weekly football highlights programme.
