Crystal Palace’s head of sports medicine Dr Zaf Iqbal has praised the improved awareness and actions taken by the Premier League, its clubs and referees’ to assist players who are observing Ramadan this year.
Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar and results in Muslims worldwide partaking in a sustained period of fasting, where they do not eat or drink during the daylight hours from dawn until sunset. Extra prayers also occur in a month of spiritual reflection.
