Recent Corrections in Sports Reporting
An image of footballer Melvine Malard, who recently moved to Chelsea Women, was mistakenly captioned as being of men's player João Gomes. Gomes's transfer from Wolverhampton Wanderers to Aston Villa was reported in the same column. This error occurred in the print edition only, and we apologize for the confusion.
