The Club and our footballing family is shocked and saddened by the escalating crisis in Israel and Gaza, and strongly condemns the horrific and brutal acts of violence against innocent civilians.

Our heartfelt sympathies are with the victims, their families and the communities impacted.

We shall join our fellow clubs in wearing black armbands and observing a minute’s silence during our next Premier League fixture with Fulham as a mark of respect.

We hope and stand for peace.
