Why Jurgen Klopp has changed Liverpool training times

Sadio Mane has heaped praise on Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp for adjusting training times during Ramadan.

Mane is a Muslim and is currently fasting due to Ramadan, which this year began on April 2 and ends on Sunday (May 1) . During Ramadan, Muslims fast between dawn and dusk so they don’t drink or eat anything during the hours of daylight.

Liverpool have several Muslim players in their squad including Mohamed Salah, Naby Keita and Ibrahima Konate. And Mane revealed that players spoke to senior figures at the club before the Islamic holy month and training now takes place in the morning instead of the afternoon, which helps the players with recovery.
