Sissoko: I’m Exhausted
Juventus midfielder Momo Sissoko has apologized for his recent under-par performances, and says he is tired due to Ramadan.
Ramadan is an Islamic religious observance that takes place during the ninth month of the calendar, and forbids Muslims from eating or drinking during daylight hours.
Sissoko, as a practicing Muslim, will follow these rules during September, and he admits that he has been feeling very tired recently.
“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 also struggled during the 1-0 win over Zenit St Petersburg last Wednesday and, because of his physical problems, he is expected to start tonight’s home clash against Catania on the bench.
Christian Poulsen will return after sitting out the win over Cagliari, while Claudio Marchisio should partner him in the centre of midfield.
