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”.
