Momo admits September struggle
Wednesday 24 September, 2008
Juventus midfielder Momo Sissoko has revealed that he is finding it tough to give his best on the pitch during Ramadan.
The Mali international is a practising Muslim and is forbidden from eating during daylight hours during the month of September.
Sissoko admitted that it is hard to balance his religious beliefs with his profession while he was at Liverpool and feels his form at Juve has also been affected.
“It's a shame because I know that I didn't give my usual contribution against Cagliari as I was so very tired,” Sissoko told La Gazzetta dello Sport.
“Everyone is different. Last year I had just recovered from meningitis and an ankle injury so I couldn't observe Ramadan.
“But Ramadan is a duty and certainly not a form of torture, Italy is a multi-cultural society and it's nice that everyone is welcome.”
Sissoko is still expected to start against Catania this evening alongside Marco Marchionni, Claudio Marchisio and Pavel Nedved.
