Final answer:
An attacker in an offside position receiving the ball after a deflection by a defender is still considered offside.
Step-by-step explanation:
According to the laws of soccer, an attacker in an offside position at the moment of the touch by a teammate is considered offside if they gain an advantage from being in that position. If a defender deflects the ball and the offside player receives it, they are still offside even though the ball was touched by the defender. This is because the deflection does not reset the offside position, and the player is still gaining an advantage by being in an offside position when the ball was last touched by their teammate.
