Former England striker Eni Aluko has issued an apology to Ian Wright for remarks suggesting he could potentially hinder opportunities for female pundits in broadcasting. In an interview with BBC Radio 4's Woman's Hour, Aluko pointed out the limited number of opportunities available for women in various aspects of football. The 38-year-old former Chelsea player faced criticism for her comments but later stated on Instagram that Wright is an outstanding broadcaster and role model who has significantly supported the women's game. Aluko emphasized that she made the broader point about the scarcity of opportunities for women in football and sincerely apologized for involving Wright's name in the conversation.

It's important to note that Aluko has worked with Wright as a pundit and while she praised him as a brilliant broadcaster, she also raised the issue of men being conscious of the limited opportunities for women in the field.
