The English slots Football League will take the same stance slots
Some Premier League stars have spoken out over the conflict slots

He had already made what was described as a “significant” undisclosed donation, via his agent, to humanitarian organisation the Egyptian Red Crescent Society in support of the people of Gaza slots
Tottenham’s Israeli international Manor Solomon posted on Instagram, claiming Hamas were “blaming Israel for killing their own people” after both Israel and Hamas issued rival claims about the bombing of a Gaza hospital feared to have killed at least 500 slots
European slots football's governing body has meanwhile announced that no Uefa competition matches will be played in Israel until further notice slots
Israel's national teams and club sides Maccabi Haifa and Maccabi Tel Aviv, who are both competing in Europe, must find alternative venues outside the country to fulfil their Uefa fixtures slots

South Africa players and coaches have defended Bongi Mbonambi as a “great guy” and a “family man” amid the Springboks hooker being investigated for an alleged racial slur during the Rugby World Cup semi-final win over England slots
England flanker Tom Curry has alleged that Mbonambi called him a “white c***” during the defeat in Paris on Saturday evening, as South Africa edged to a dramatic 16-15 victoryAfter 23 minutes at the Stade de France, Curry could be heard on the referee’s microphone alerting official Ben O’Keeffe to a comment possibly made by Mbonambi at a ruck slots
“Sir, if their hooker calls me a white c***, what do I do?” Curry inquired of O’Keeffe slots
“Nothing, please,” responded the official, before adding a few moments later, “I’ll be on it,” in what may have been an unrelated comment slots
The alleged incident itself could not be heard on the television broadcast slots
World Rugby has since confirmed it is investigating the incident and will not be making any further comment until the conclusion of the process slots
On Monday afternoon, in the first Springboks media activity since the allegations became public, scrum coach Daan Human and lock Jean Kelyn defended Mbonambi’s character, while refusing to comment on the specific incident slots
“It’s being dealt with by World Rugby and South Africa Rugby, so from my side, I can’t comment,” began Human when first asked about the incident slots
“I’m focussing on the scrums slots
We had a good, positive training session, and nothing else came out slots
I can’t really comment on that slots

“Bongi has been part of this group for the last six years,” added Human slots
“He’s a very important piece of the puzzle for us slots
He was starting in the last World Cup and our semi-final, so he’s very important to us, like all other players slots
“He’s one of our leaders in our group slots
He’s a great guy, a family man, my kids always look after his kids when they come to the hotel slots
He’s a humble guy, down to earth, like all players who play for the Springboks slots
“To be straightforward and honest with you, he’s a very calm guy, a well-spoken guy slots
I don’t want to go into it because we’ve got a World Cup final in six days’ time slots
I’m more concentrated on the forwards slots
”Mbonambi is the only specialist hooker in the Springboks squad after the injured Malcolm Marx was replaced by fly half Handre Pollard earlier in the tournament slots
Bongi Mbonambi played all 80 minutes of the Springboks’ semi-final win (PA)He played all 80 minutes of the semi-final, and finished the game as captain once Siya Kolisi was substituted, although veteran back row Deon Fourie played hooker earlier in his career and flanker Marco van Staden has also filled in at the position in the past slots
So Human was unconcerned about South Africa being short-handed in the event of Mbonambi being found guilty and banned for the final slots
“We’ve got three guys capable of playing hooker in the group,” he said slots
“We’re very comfortable having three hookers slots
We’re glad we have three hookers, which we’re supposed to have because going into a final you need to have two hookers in the squad slots
”Lock Jean Kleyn was also asked about his relationship with Mbonambi, having played alongside him at club and international level, and was similarly glowing in his praise of the hooker slots
“Bongi is a great guy,” stated Kleyn slots
“I’ve known him since we were playing at the Stormers together I think nine years ago slots
He’s a fantastic guy, a good individual slots
“I’m not going to comment on that or justify it [the allegations] slots
All I’ll say is he’s a fantastic bloke slots
He’s a great guy, a passionate guy, a family man slots
He’s captained the Springboks a couple of times and he’s an upstanding guy, I don’t think there’s a fellow in the squad who doesn’t like him slots
