Heads back to Chelsea
Penders will return to parent club Chelsea following the conclusion of his loan spell at Strasbourg.
Analysis: Penders was an ever-present figure for Strasbourg last season, making 33 Ligue 1 starts across 2,970 minutes, recording 108 saves and eight clean sheets while conceding 47 goals and saving one penalty. Penders will head back to Chelsea after playing the World Cup with Belgium where his future under new coach Xabi Alonso will be determined heading into the 2026/27 season, with his outstanding campaign in France making a strong case for a bigger role at senior level.
Concedes four in finale
Penders had six saves and allowed four goals in Sunday's 5-4 win against Monaco.
Analysis: Penders was under attack throughout Sunday's season finale, facing 10 shots on target and conceding four goals. It was a tough end to a solid season for the young Chelsea loanee. He started all but one match this season and conceded 47 goals, made 108 saves and kept eight clean sheets across 33 starts. It's currently unclear where he will be next season, but another loan spell is certainly in the cards.
