If you’re a healthy person like the majority of Premier League footballers and you have a well balanced diet like the majority of footballers not eating or drinking for 17/18 hours everyday for 30 days is unlikely to cause problems like the one you’ve mentioned.
Not sunrise but dawn (which can be around two hours before sunrise at this time of year in these parts of the world).
That makes it even harder.
Indeed my friend. Its about 4am to 8pm atm
It was a lot harder a couple of years ago. I believe people were fasting 18 hours around 2014 and 2015.
I think it is around 4 am in the morning to about 8.20 pm.

Always wondered how a muslim living in fecking Tromsø or somewhere would deal with observing Ramadan. I don't suppose there's any scope for getting away with using Mecca hours for dawn and dusk?04:08 to 20:16 in London today. 16 hours.
Ramadan comes 10 days earlier each year so it's slowly moving towards the winter months. The next 15 or so years are the 'easy' ones.
I have a friend up north where the sun doesn't set at all between May and August so they had to either starve for 30 days or find alternative solutions during the 2012-2020 ramadans
Kind of cheating when it’s the winter months though.Always wondered how a muslim living in fecking Tromsø or somewhere would deal with observing Ramadan. I don't suppose there's any scope with getting away with using Mecca hours for dawn and dusk?
Well yeah, if it falls in winter, they're playing on easy mode I guess.

Yeah some of them are cheeky. Follow Mecca in the summer months, follow the closest city (where the sun rises/sets) during the winter
Not sure about Chelsea guys but I remember this story which was nice to read a few years back.
Well based on my experience as a muslim, your muslim friends will go to hell..I can confirm this.
Yeah, Kante seems such an unlikely Premiership footballer in terms of his character, seems to have zero ego. Pretty much everyone likes him despite being a really aggressive player. Usually oppo fans hate midfield foul machines.
They can join all my Christian friends who also don't follow 90% of their "rules"!Well based on my experience as a muslim, your muslim friends will go to hell..I can confirm this.
Yeh, I believe he has such a popularity in the game is because he keeps his head down, does all the hard work, doesn't complain, doesn't dive.
The main issue there is that you can see the difference because non majority-Muslim teams are competing against others who are fasting.
Ramadan is the Arabic, Ramazan used traditionally in places historically influenced by Persian culture such as the Indian subcontinent (the Arabic letter ض has a heavy ‘d’ sound but in Persian is rendered ‘z’). Lately there is a trend of Arabization, driven yeah n part by the growth in influence of the Gulf states, which has led some to make a point of using the former.
I'm pretty sure someone like Kante without knowing him personally is strict with this. You can just tell by his character.
It's kind of neither yet in between. If you try to say the word Ramadaan but after 'Rama' touch your tongue with the top set of teeth then say 'Daan' (yeah it's not Dan as in Desperate Dan) you'll get a Th kind of sound.
Exactly... don't buy that for a second. A high intensity match, 9km of running... no water at all?
You're right, they don't pray regularly at all. No booze is the one thing they all have in common though, interesting what rules people seem to think are important.
Well murder and graven images are a bit of a stretch.
It's Ramadan, but the Asian subcontinent say Ramzan.
That’s just not fecking fair in the slightest!04:08 to 20:16 in London today. 16 hours.

For people in the in the Nordics, I believe they can follow Saudi Arabian times which being near the equator has a more balanced sunset/sunrise time year out.
