Aluko, 38, made the accusation that Wright was “blocking” the pathway for women in football punditry.
She has since apologised for her comments, but Wright refused to accept it in an impassioned Instagram video.
Keane has been able to put a smile on Wright’s face with a quick joke about the situation.
He made the quip in the latest episode of the Stick to Football podcast, brought to you by SkyBet.
Jill Scott was explaining that she does not work too much in the women’s side of the game.
To which razor-sharp Keane quipped: “Because of Ian?”
The whole panel burst out in laughter, including Wright, who was in stitches.
Keane hilariously remained completely composed, almost as if he was expecting Scott to give him more than just “no” in her answer.
Last week, Aluko stepped down from hosting at the Women’s Football Awards following the row.
Wright has urged the public to “move on” from the incident.
He has been supported by the pair’s employer, ITV, as the broadcaster released a strong statement backing the Arsenal legend.
Steph Houghton has also shown her support for Wright as she stated his commitment has been “unbelievable.”
Keane was on good form during the podcast as he also made a cheeky dig at David Beckham.
The former Manchester United star insisted that Beckham “forgot” to invite him to his 50th birthday.
