Match of the Day is facing further turmoil with the BBC told they do not have the rights to use world feed commentary for the highlights show.
Presenters, pundits and commentators have all pulled out of featuring on Saturday's programme after the corporation took Gary Lineker off air. Lineker had become embroiled in a row with Conservative party MPs over his opposition to the government's Illegal Migration bill.
He was subsequently stood down from his presenting duties by the BBC on Friday evening, with the likes of Ian Wright, Alan Shearer and Alex Scott pulling their availability in response. A further problem was created when the six commentators scheduled to cover the day's matches also stood down in solidarity with Lineker.
