Sean Dyche says the Muslim players in his Everton squad will be 'supported' when observing their Ramadan fast during this Saturday's game with Manchester United.
Abdoulaye Doucoure, Amadou Onana and Idrissa Gueye broke their fast in the 26th minute of Monday night's 1-1 draw with Tottenham Hotspur by taking on energy supplements during an arranged stoppage in play.
But with fasting required from sunrise to sunset, this Saturday's visit to Old Trafford, a 12.30pm kick-off, will present a different challenge.
Midfielder Doucoure will be suspended for the game after his red card against Spurs.
