In a Church Times interview following his recent West Bank visit, Archbishop of York Stephen Cottrell described Israeli military actions in Gaza as deliberately indiscriminate and genocidal acts, while labeling the West Bank a regime of apartheid and ethnic cleansing through settler expansion. He emphasized that his criticism targets state policies, not Judaism or Jewish people, and supports Church divestment from occupation-enabling companies. Chief Rabbi Sir Ephraim Mirvis rebuked the remarks as irresponsible and morally inverted, planning a personal letter to Cottrell amid growing divides among UK faith leaders over the Gaza conflict now in its second year.

In an interview with The Athletic, former Chelsea goalkeeping coach Lollichon revealed he recommended Cech as the top replacement for Thibaut Courtois, but Sarri insisted on Kepa after one strong game against Napoli, leading to an €80 million deal that backfired amid Kepa's struggles and the infamous 2019 League Cup final defiance. Lollichon, who also spotted Edouard Mendy, now praises 20-year-old Mike Penders—signed from Genk in 2025 and impressing on loan at Strasbourg—as clever, proactive, and the potential fix for Chelsea's long-unsettled goalkeeper spot. With Robert Sánchez facing scrutiny, Penders could challenge for the No. 1 role next season.
