Ian Wright has been 'paying for Kayleigh McDonald's rehab following her ACL injury', it has been revealed.

After Eni Aluko had taken a swipe at the Arsenal legend for taking up space in the women's game and 'dominating' roles, thereby blocking chances for female pundits - the Arsenal legend's gesture flies in the face of her criticism.

According to the Telegraph, Wright has been paying for McDonald's rehabilitation of the injured knee for the last four months in addition to a sports lawyer to help advocate for the Stoke City player.

Stoke were not paying for McDonald's treatment and she set up a GoFundMe page.
