Alan Shearer addressed what he called the 'impossible situation' he and his colleagues found themselves last week, after Gary Lineker was ordered to take a break from the BBC.
The 62-year-old and former England striker was taken off air last week for a tweet comparing the language used to launch a new Government asylum seeker policy with 1930s Germany and, after scores of BBC colleagues also stood down in solidarity with Gary, the popular presenter was back in the studio to oversee coverage of Manchester City and Burnley in the FA Cup.
Ahead of kick off at the Etihad, Gary posted a photo of himself on set, alongside Newcastle United legend Alan and former Man City star Micah Richards, captioning it 'Teammates' along with a hands in the air emoji.
