Sky Sports presenter Richard Keys has telephoned assistant referee Sian Massey to apologise for his off-air remarks about her at the weekend, a Professional Game Match Officials spokesman has confirmed.
Microphones picked up comments made by Keys and co-presenter Andy Gray in what they thought was an off-air conversation before the Wolves v Liverpool match on Saturday.
The pair were not involved in Sky Sports' coverage of Monday night's Bolton v Chelsea match as a result.
The PGMO confirmed that Keys had telephoned Massey on Monday.
She accepted the apology and is now keen to move on from the matter, and will be an assistant at the npower League Two match between Crewe and Bradford on Tuesday night.
The PGMO insist that Massey holds her position on merit and is keen to act as a positive role model for women's refereeing.
