00:00Just a couple of questions on Ramadan, which is ongoing at the moment.
00:03Did you have to alter the schedules at all, or training, or allow players to pray if they need to?
00:10And how have you seen the players coping during the month?
00:15Yeah, they follow his tradition, religious tradition, and of course we have a good nutritionist,
00:21and they adapt to what the team needs, and we cannot adapt to the schedule for the time for the
00:29Premier League.
00:32I think they are used, they are not young, and they are used many, many years playing in this period.
00:38The sun sets tomorrow in Leeds after the match has kicked off, so some players might have been fasting all
00:44day.
00:45Do you have to consider team selection for the likes of Mahmoud, Cherky, Ayrton Uri and Kuzunov?
00:51They will take care, and they know how you handle his situations.
00:59And finally, assistant Kolo is someone who has played in the Premier League and knows how to deal with that
01:05in Ramadan.
01:05He's not going to play tomorrow.
01:07Sorry?
01:08He's not going to play tomorrow.
01:10No, but have you gone to him for advice, has he lent his knowledge about Ramadan and being a Muslim
01:16player in the Premier League?
01:16No, to me, no.
01:18But the players, I think they are not new, both Ryans and Omar and Kusa.
01:24So it's not the first time, you know, they live, you know, the Ramadan, and they know perfectly with the
01:31handle.
01:31Of course, they are in touch with the nutrition, especially with the doctors and adapt and what they have to
01:36do, and that's all.
01:37You're good.
01:37You're good.
