Match of the Day 2 coverage is expected to be “much-reduced” as the fallout from the Gary Lineker BBC row continues.
BBC Two will also broadcast the Women’s Super League Chelsea v Manchester United match using world feed commentary – without presenter or pundits around the coverage of the game.
It is the second day the BBC has been forced to reduce its sports coverage.
The BBC News sports editor Dan Roan said on Twitter: “At this stage BBC expecting the planned WSL match between Chelsea and Manchester United this afternoon to be on BBC2, but with no pre-match presentation.
“Expecting MOTD2 to follow similar much-reduced format to MOTD last night.”
