Sadio Mane admits that playing football during the holy month of Ramadan is a difficult task, but has praised Liverpool for making it as easy as they possibly can.
The Senegal international is a devout Muslim along with fellow forward Mohamed Salah, and is observing Ramadan, which began on April 2 and will run until the celebration of Eid on May 2. Muslims around the world observe the practice of fasting during daylight hours, meaning no food or fluids are consumed during this time in order to cleanse the soul and mind.
Since the start of the holy month, both Mane and Salah have played in all seven Liverpool matches, across three competitions as the club's bid for an unprecedented quadruple has gone on. And the two have remained in fine form, particularly Mane who has scored five times in those fixtures, including two in the FA Cup semi-final with Manchester City at Wembley.
