Recent Corrections in Sports Reporting

In a recent sports brief, an image of footballer Melvine Malard, who transferred to Chelsea Women, was mistakenly captioned as men's player João Gomes, whose move from Wolverhampton Wanderers to Aston Villa was covered in the same column. This error appeared in print only and has been corrected in our digital archives. We apologize for the confusion and have updated our photo verification processes.
