Alan Shearer has confirmed he won't appear on Match of the Day this Saturday and has told the BBC of his decision.
The popular highlights show finds itself in chaos as its main stars join in solidarity to support Gary Lineker, who has been told he must stand down as presenter following comments he made on social media criticised the Conservative's new asylum policy and comparing it to Nazi Germany.
Shearer is a regular pundit on the show and would've been expected to give his insight as normal, but will not appear in light of recent decisions. He said on Twitter: "I have informed the BBC that I won’t be appearing on MOTD tomorrow night."
