Eni Aluko has hit out at Joey Barton accusing the former footballer of damaging her broadcasting career with his social media posts.
The pundit, 38, is suing the former Manchester City and Newcastle midfielder for libel over two posts he made in January last year on X.
Aluko, who played for Chelsea and made 105 appearances for the Lionesses, won the first stage of a High Court libel claim over the bitter online row.
Barton, 42, made comments which had a defamatory meaning when he accused her of being a 'race card player', a judge ruled two weeks ago.
