Upcoming Premier League matches will be paused to allow Muslim players to break their fast during Ramadan.
A number of Premier League stars are expected to abstain from eating or drinking during daylight hours during Ramadan, the ninth month of the Islamic calendar. Ramadan is considered as one of the holiest months for Muslims and is marked by a period of fasting.
This year, Ramadan started on the evening of March 22 and is expected to conclude on the evening of April 20 or 21. As such, a number of evening matches - such as Everton's 1-1 draw against Tottenham on Monday - will be paused to allow players to break their fast.
