Eni Aluko apologises to Ian Wright over punditry comments and admits ‘it was wrong’
Eni Aluko has issued an apology to Ian Wright after she suggested that the Arsenal legend was “dominating” women’s football coverage and hindering opportunities for female pundits. Despite being a fervent supporter of women’s football and frequently serving as a pundit on Lionesses games, Wright has only been a pundit for one Women’s Super League match and was part of ITV’s coverage for just two games at the 2023 Women’s World Cup.
Aluko has now retracted her comments about Wright, clarifying that she was merely “trying to make a broader point about the limited opportunities for women in football”.
