Juventus midfielder Momo Sissoko has revealed that it is difficult to find is giving his best on the pitch during Ramadan. The Mali international is a practicing Muslim and it is forbidden to eat during daylight hours during the month of September.
Sissoko admits that it is difficult to balance their religious beliefs with his profession while he was at Liverpool and feels as Juve has also been affected. "It's a shame because I know that it is not customary to give my contribution against Cagliari and I was very tired," Sissoko told La Gazzetta dello Sport.
"Everybody is different. Last year we had just recovered from meningitis and ankle injuries which could not observe Ramadan. But Ramadan is a duty and not a form of torture, Italy is a multicultural society and it is good that everyone is welcome."
Sissoko is expected to start against Catania this afternoon with Marco Marchionni, Claudio Marchisio and Pavel Nedvěd.
