Fasting and elite sport wouldn’t seem to mix if you thought about it. But, yet again, Premier League stars will observe their religion and ensure their performances don’t suffer.
Liverpool stars Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane will not publicly speak about their intentions, but they are two devout Muslims who do observe Ramadan. It is what they’ve done for all their careers.
This Saturday the holy month will begin, ending with the celebration of Eid on May 2. Muslims around the world will observe the practice of fasting during daylight hours. That means no food or fluids will be consumed in that time. It is a practice to cleanse the soul and mind.
