Former England striker Eni Aluko has apologized to Ian Wright for suggesting he might be blocking female pundits from gaining opportunities in broadcasting. Aluko made the comments during an interview on BBC Radio 4's Woman's Hour, stating that there are only a "finite amount of opportunities" for women and that Wright needs to consider his contribution to women's football. Following backlash, Aluko issued an apology on Instagram, acknowledging Wright's significant role as an advocate for women's football and stating that it was wrong to include him in her initial conversation. Aluko and Wright have worked together as pundits, with Aluko noting Wright's skills as a broadcaster but also emphasizing the need for women to have equal opportunities in the women's game.
