Deschamps had not previously forced his players to break their fast with the French national team, and Deschamps’ Muslim players, led by N’Golo Kante and Paul Pogba, were reported to have fasted earlier under the French coach.
On the other hand, the English Premier League has decided to observe the fasting of Muslim players during matches during the holy month of Ramadan.
And the Sky Sports network said the league has asked referees at all levels of the league to allow players to break their fast during evening matches during the holy month of Ramadan.
