Ghana international, Jordan Ayew has not been left out of the Ramadan period but remains committed to fasting in the holy month on the Islamic calendar.
According to his Crystal Palace teammate Cheikhou Kouyate, he joins other Muslim teammates after the training to pray in the house of Belgium forward Christian Benteke.
“It depends on your head. It’s like mental. If you come in and say: 'Yeah, it’s gonna be hard,' it’s gonna be hard. The [harder] month is if you do it in the pre-season," Kouyate remarked, as reported by his club's official website.
The Senegalese continued, “After [training] we go to his [Christian Benteke’s] house. He does Ramadan [with] me, Mama [Sakho], and Jordan [Ayew]. And he prays with us in the night. Yeah, it's very, very good. It's a very good experience."
Ramadan is already halfway through and fasting and prayers will continue for the next couple of weeks before the celebration of Eid.
