Fair play to him. He's observing Ramadan so is fasting. Deano said he was just knackered at the end rather than injured.

Tuesday night will be more difficult as at 8PM they would be about 7 hours further into the fast than yesterday. Dean and Villa nutritional staff have to think around that. One idea could be to bench El Ghazi and as fast ends around 8.50 PM he will be ready for the second half?

It can't surely be reasonable to ask them to start the game if they haven't eaten anything all day ahead of an evening kickoff? It also sounds like a bad idea to do so from a football perspective.
I think some Imams think it's acceptable to break fast when you are playing sport, so long as you make up for it at some point. Opinion is divided, though. Either way, neither AAG or Elmo looked affected yesterday, they will at least be able to drink water on Tuesday night, regardless. Albeit they won't have had anything to eat for about seventeen hours.
What do they do in the Arctic Circle where the sun never sets?
