Mark Chapman will present the BBC’s first Match of the Day Saturday highlights programme this weekend, the PA news agency understands.
Chapman is part of a three-person presenting line-up alongside Kelly Cates and Gabby Logan, who will work on rotation this season following the departure of former lead presenter Gary Lineker.
PA understands Chapman will be the first of the trio to host the flagship Saturday night show.
