Highlights from Leeds United's 2-2 draw with Brighton will be shown on a shorter edition of Match of the Day on Saturday night. The BBC show has been engulfed in controversy following the decision to suspend Gary Lineker for a 'breach' of the company's social media guidelines.
Lineker's absence led to a slew of pundits and commentators boycotting the programme, including Premier League legends Ian Wright and Alan Shearer. Coverage of the six top-flight fixtures on Saturday, including the goals from Elland Road, will still be shown on BBC One on Saturday night.
However, the Mirror reports the upcoming programme will now have a far shorter runtime of just 20 minutes, with the match action being broadcast without commentary. The BBC does not have the rights to use the world feed commentary to replace the staff who have pulled out of the programme in protest.
