The Football Association has announced that its review into child sexual abuse in football will be led by Clive Sheldon QC instead of Kate Gallafent QC "in the light of the increased scope of the review".
The FA initially appointed Gallafent to oversee an internal review into allegations of sex abuse by by former players but conceded at the time "a wide-ranging inquiry may be required in time".
That time appears to have come sooner than expected, with the scale of the issue growing by the day, and Gallafent has been replaced "with respect to her other professional commitments".
