The Grand Mufti of Egypt Shawki Allam has granted Liverpool superstar Mohamed Salah and his international teammates permission to postpone their Ramadan fasting obligations in the days building up to the World Cup this summer.
This year, Ramadan commences on May 15 which, awkwardly for Salah, falls 10 days before a potential Champions League final against either Real Madrid or Bayern Munich.
Liverpool are looking in a healthy position after beating Roma 5-2 in the sides' first leg at Anfield, and look set to contest a second European final in three years after facing Sevilla in the Europa League final in 2016.
