Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp was supportive of them when asked about his thoughts on fasting back in 2019.

“There is no problem with the fast of my players, I respect their religion, they were always wonderful and they offered the best whether they were fasting or not,” Klopp was quoted by Egypt Independent, per Goal.

“There are days when Sadio Mane or Mohamed Salah came into the dressing room because they were praying.

“In this life, there are many things more important than football.”
