I don't think playing is the problem. The issue is to get enough and correct Food. You shall not eat nor drink (except some water) between sunrise and sunset. So you loose a lot of energy.
Up North were I come from there is the issue With midnight sun, were there is no sunset and hence no rise either.
Haha. I wonder if Argentina is a good place to practise Islam
Sounds like everyone's wife ever. About anything..
you can defer your fasting obligation to a non ramadhan day if you have a legitimate excuse.
most muslim especially in a muslim majority country prefer not to defer because it's better to fast when everybody is fasting than doing it when everybody is eating.
if you are used to fasting, you are not that tired or weakened because of it. thirst is a challenge.
therefore i don't see any problem if the game is played at night. it's just that he may reduce his intensity in training.

Sunset in Mecca you wazzock.
If you are travelling beyond a certain distance fasting is not required
I think it moves, so one year it's difficult to be a Muslim during Ramadan in Sweden while other years it's piss easy.
Never mind Salah what will Sadio do?
travelling is a legitimate reason directly stated in the verse and tradition of the prophet.
another point is that this is his job. even if he is not travelling, it is still legitimate because it could affect his job.
the problem is, many people missed the point that these people are professionals, so,playing is a profession for them, a job, not an option.
Wait to see what Salah does then poorly mime the same, while grinning like he's eight?
Thanks Dilbert.
Is Dilbert going to stay in character throughout his postings? Because I don't think that last post was something Dilbert would say.
Henderson reveals Mohamed Salah's PFA Awards gesture
James Carroll@James_Carroll84
Jordan Henderson has explained why Mohamed Salah was eager to have Liverpool represented as a team when he collected the PFA Players' Player of the Year award last weekend.
The Egyptian collected the accolade in London on Sunday after being voted for by his fellow professionals from all four divisions in England, becoming the first Red to pick it up since Luis Suarez in 2014.
Henderson accompanied Salah to the event – and the captain has used his notes in ‘This is Anfield’ to highlight a special gesture from the No.11.
He writes: “There is probably no player on the planet at the moment more written and spoken about than Mo Salah. He’s the person everyone in the game, be it supporter, media or even players, are talking about – and for all the right reasons.
“Last Sunday I accompanied him to London for the PFA Awards where he was crowned player of the season, voted for by his fellow professionals. For those of you who don’t know about the mechanisms of this, it’s the Professional Footballers Union and every professional footballer, from all four divisions, gets to vote on who they think is the best player playing in England at this time.
“One of the rules is that you can’t vote for anyone at your own club, which means none of us at Liverpool could vote for Mo. For the record, I voted for Kevin De Bruyne, as I believe many of our team did. The fact he came second – after the season he has had – tells you everything about the level that Mo is performing at.
“But Mo isn’t just world-class on the pitch – he is world-class off it – and we as his teammates appreciate him for more than just his goals. The way he behaved around collecting the PFA award sums him up; even in a moment of personal triumph he wanted to acknowledge the importance of the team. Mo is individually magic, but his mindset is all about the collective.
“The gaffer was keen for him to go to London and collect the prize, even though it was in quite close proximity to the Roma first leg. The manager’s priority was that Mo ate the right things, got his sleep and training wasn’t impacted at all. All those things fell into line, so as a team and as a club we wanted him to go. But typically he didn’t want to go on his own, purely because he believes this individual award has come because of the performance of the entire team. Mo recognises that everyone in this squad has played a part in helping him reach this level – and it’s that humility that makes him such a special person, as well as a phenomenal player. He wanted the entire team’s contribution recognised, and as a result we decided together that I would go with him to represent the rest of the team.
“When Mo says, for him, it’s all about what the team can achieve and not him personally, it isn’t just words. When he says he would swap every individual honour he might get for one trophy for the club, he means it. That’s Mo – that’s why he’s special to us. That is why we, as his teammates, were so unbelievably chuffed that the rest of football in England saw fit to name him the best player performing in our country in this moment.
“We didn’t vote for him because we couldn’t under the rules – but the Liverpool dressing room doesn’t need a ballot paper to show our appreciation for this amazing fella.”

Well it is the nature. Same way it hurts for Roma that he Plays for us it will hurt for us that he Plays for Barcelona. First they lost Aquilani and now Salah. They must be gutted.
Good point, very similar talents my friend.
First they lost Aquilani, and now Salah.
That's a bit like saying first he had a cold, and then he had brain cancer
That's a bit like saying first he had a cold, and then he had brain cancer
Or TWO cancers!!!!
Perhaps a misdiagnosed shin cancer and then full blown AIDS cancer

Lovren is basically getting bullied by the rest of the squad it seems. And rightly so.
[QUOTE="King Binny, post: 1700203 [/QUOTE]
So who are those two players to the left of Henderson and the one on the right? There's one left of Ming and just behind Karius and Infront of Ward I've not seen before.
If I'm not mistaken:
The one behind Karius is Conor Masterson. 3rd from right is Curtis Jones, 4th from right is Rafael Camacho and 6th from right is Nathaniel Phillips.
Who are the 5 Liverpool youngsters considered for a bench role vs. Man City?
Jack Lusby
4 April 2018
Jurgen Klopp drafted five academy players into his Liverpool squad for training ahead of tonight’s Champions League first-leg clash with Man City.
The Reds’ preparations for their biggest game of the season so far have been hampered significantly by an injury crisis in Klopp’s ranks.
Steeling his side to secure an advantage heading into next week’s decider at the Etihad, the German is without Joe Gomez, Joel Matip, Ragnar Klavan, Emre Can, Adam Lallana and Ben Woodburn.
This left Klopp with just 18 senior players, including three goalkeepers, and this saw a clutch of call-ups from Liverpool’s under-23s ranks.
Conor Masterson, Nathaniel Phillips, Herbie Kane, Curtis Jones and Rafa Camacho were all part of training, and it is likely at least one will be on the substitutes’ bench at Anfield.
Only Masterson was registered as part of the Reds’ initial squad for the knockout stages, but a further addition could have been made by 11pm on Tuesday night.
So what do we know about the five youngsters who could play a part tonight?
Conor Masterson
Age: 19
Position: Centre-back
Signed: 2014
Signed as a promising 16-year-old from Irish outfit Lucan United, Masterson is a cultured centre-back who has made swift progress through the ranks in recent years.
Captain of Neil Critchley’s U18s last season, he made the step up to the U23s along with his coach in the summer, and has been a regular fixture at the heart of the defence this term.
Masterson has not been the most impressive centre-back in Critchley’s squad, with that honour bestowed to his partner George Johnston, but he is arguably the most well-rounded.
He was part of Klopp’s squad for the Reds’ mid-season training camp in La Manga in February of last year, and has joined the first team on a number of occasions in 2017/18 too.
Having turned down Man United, Man City and Chelsea to join Liverpool, tonight could well vindicate Masterson’s decision.
Nathaniel Phillips
Age: 20
Position: Centre-back
Signed: 2016
An interesting inclusion given his lack of opportunities at 20 and having spent the majority of the season out with a back injury, Phillips is likely included ahead of Johnston due to being right-sided.
The committed defender joined from Bolton Wanderers after an impressive trial in 2016, opting against the offer of a scholarship at the University of North Carolina.
Largely considered an arrival designed to bulk out the Reds’ U23s squad, Phillips signed a new contract with the club in October, hinting at a longer-term future.
It is doubtful that he would be included ahead of Masterson, but having been part of Klopp’s squad for last year’s training camp in Tenerife he may have impressed the manager enough to be considered.
Herbie Kane
Age: 19
Position: Central midfielder
Signed: 2013
After an injury-plagued campaign last time out, Kane has made great strides this season having signed a new long-term deal with Liverpool at the start of 2017.
A composed, energetic midfielder, Kane can operate both in a deeper role or more advanced overlapping as a No. 8, which is perhaps his best position.
He has worn the captain’s armband for the U23s following Corey Whelan’s loan switch to Yeovil Town in January and, bar a frustrating red card in February’s 4-0 win over Stoke City, he has been a fine leader.
The ex-Bristol City youth was drafted into Klopp’s training squad back in October, and having only turned 19 a month later he could well have a future under the German on Merseyside.
Curtis Jones
Age: 17
Position: Attacking midfielder
Signed: N/A
The biggest prospect among this quintet, and arguably the most promising youngster to pique Klopp’s interest since Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Jones made his debut for the U18s as a 15-year-old, and he has made rapid progress since, now established as a regular under Critchley at U23 level and under Klopp at Melwood.
A versatile attacking midfielder, the Toxteth native can operate on either flank and as a No. 10, but his future is most likely to be deeper in midfield as a No. 8.
It would be remiss to pigeonhole Jones, though, as he is so vastly talented he could carve out a niche in a variety of positions.
A great dribbler with excellent close control, creativity and a canny finishing ability, Jones is unlikely to feature against City, but his breakthrough is only a matter of time.
Rafa Camacho
Age: 17
Position: Winger
Signed: 2016
Along with Jones, Camacho has been a frequent presence in first-team training since February, with the two 17-year-olds clearly making an impression.
The Portuguese is more of a wild card than the Liverpudlian, but his development has been remarkable in a season that has seen him bridge the gap from U18s to U23s.
He scored a stunning goal for Steven Gerrard’s U19s in their 2-0 victory over Man United in the UEFA Youth League, with this moment of magic typical of his game.
A bright, pacy winger capable of playing on either flank, Camacho is adept at driving at full-backs or cutting inside onto either his left or his right foot, while his off-ball work has improved markedly of late.
Behind the likes of Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane, is it highly unlikely Camacho will play tonight, but he could be being moulded as a possible backup for the future.
