Liverpool Physiotherapist Gives Definitive Update on Mohamed Salah Fasting Situation for UCL Final

Despite reports suggesting otherwise, Mohamed Salah will not abstain from food and water before Liverpool's Champions League final clash against Real Madrid on Saturday.

There had been reports emanating from Salah's home country of Egypt that the Liverpool winger would continue to observe the religious routine of Ramadan by fasting until less than an hour before kick off on Saturday.

However, Liverpool physiotherapist Ruben Pons has since confirmed, speaking to Spanish radio station Cadena SER, that the Egyptian will not be fasting in the build-up to the Champions League final.

"We were in Marbella and the nutritionist established a work plan," he said.
