Match officials for midweek matches in the Premier League over the next few weeks have been asked by the FA to introduce mid-match pauses due to the Islamic holy period of Ramadan.
The holiday, which this year is being observed from Wednesday, March 22 until Friday, April 21, is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar and observed by Muslims worldwide as a month of fasting, prayer, reflection and community.
Many of the Premier League biggest stars like Liverpool's Mohamed Salah and Chelsea's N'Golo Kante are Muslims and will be expected to fast and will abstain from eating or drinking during daylight hours.
