'Back in business!' Gary Lineker poses for socially distanced snap with Ian Wright and Alan Shearer ahead of hosting BBC's first ever live Premier League match

Gary Lineker has been documenting his return to work on social media, as he prepares to host the BBC's first ever live Premier League game.

The popular football pundit, 59, took to Instagram on Saturday afternoon to share a snapshot of himself with Ian Wright, 56, and Alan Shearer, 49, in the studio, days after Premier League games resumed following the COVID-19 lockdown.

Captioning the image, which showed the trio of retired footballers practising social distancing as they relaxed on separate chairs, Lineker wrote: 'Back in business.'

Donning a white T-shirt with blue trousers, Lineker raised his fist in the air in victorious fashion, as Arsenal legend Wright flashed a broad grin and erstwhile Newcastle United striker Shearer peered over his shoulder.
