The Premier League have informed clubs participating in Saturday's round of fixtures that they will not be asked to conduct interviews for Match of the Day.
The development comes after the BBC decided to remove long-time host Gary Lineker from his role on Friday evening in the wake of social media comments he made earlier this week in relation to a controversial new government Migration Bill.
For the first time ever, Saturday's Match of the Day will not have a host, studio guests or its regular BBC commentators following a mass boycott of the show from staff after the decision to axe Lineker was made.
