Revealed! Due to Ramadan fast, Wesley Fofana was substituted in the middle of Leicester vs WBA game: ok ball

LEICESTER – An attitude of religious tolerance is observed at English football club Leicester City. To be precise, this happened during Leicester City’s game against West Bromwich Albion (WBA) in Week 32 of the 2020-2021 Premier League.

In a match which took place at the King Power Stadium on Friday (23/4/2021) on the morning of WIB, Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers decided to withdraw one of his players, namely Wesley Fofana, to the 61st minute. An unusual reason behind Brendan Rodgers’ decision to make this change.

Rodgers decided to take Fofana out and replace him with Marc Albrighton because he wanted to give his players time to break their fast. This is because Fofana, who is a Muslim, is known to continue to fast during Ramadan in competition.
