Liverpool forward Sadio Mane disclosed the role club management has played in helping Muslims who are observing the 30-day fasting period in the team.
Mane, who scored the second goal in the Reds’ 2-0 win over Villarreal in Wednesday’s UEFA Champions League game, said there has been a switch in the team’s training schedule in order to give the Muslim faithful a break to rest.
The 2021 Africa Cup of Nations champion also noted how they have been assisted with a nutrition plan before games.
Mane has scored six goals in eight matches during the dawn-to-sunset fasting that started on April 2.
“It’s not easy because playing and training and doing Ramadan isn’t easy at all,” Mane explained to beIN Sports.
“But before Ramadan we tried to talk to the captain and to tell the boss maybe can we change the schedule? We train in the morning. It’s easier for us. If you train in the morning then you have time to rest and go home.
“It’s going to be tough if not because if you train around two or three it’s going to be tough. They said yes, and I think that made it easier. We are trying to do our best.
“Game day is something else but with Ramadan it’s tough. Liverpool tried to make everything easier for us. We spoke with our nutritionist, especially before the game she did everything easier for us
