Former Leicester City striker and Match Of The Day presenter Gary Lineker couldn’t resist a cheeky jibe at Nottingham Forest ahead of the two sides’ meeting in the FA Cup this weekend.
Forest host Leicester at the City Ground on Sunday in the fourth round of the world’s oldest football competition, but Lineker won’t be there - he has returned a positive Covid test this week after falling ill on his return from South Africa.
So Lineker will be watching like many Forest and Foxes supporters who aren’t attending themselves, but after he broke the news of his feeling under the weather, he was teed up for a dig at Forest by fellow ex-England international and BBC pundit Alan Shearer.
