Ian Wright has stated he 'can't accept Eni Aluko's apology after she accused him of 'blocking' opportunities for women in football.

Aluko's views on Wright were made during an appearance on Radio Four's Women's Hour on Wednesday, in which she also claimed her punditry career had been damaged by ex-Manchester City midfielder Joey Barton, who she's suing for libel, after he dubbed her a 'race card player' on social media in January last year.

She had also said that ITV continuing to employ Wright to cover the women's game hampered the chances of female pundits coming into the industry.
