Jurgen Klopp has leapt to the defence of Gary Lineker as the fallout from the BBC impartiality row continues.
Lineker was told to step down from presenting Match of the Day on Friday after the broadcaster took exception to comments made by the former England international criticising the Conservative government’s controversial new asylum policy.
It prompted a host of Lineker’s colleagues to withdraw their services from the BBC in solidarity, leading to Football Focus and Final Score being pulled from the schedules on Saturday.
