FC Barcelona: how Lamine Yamal experiences Ramadan during the season

With the start of the holy month of Ramadan, many Muslim athletes have to adapt their physical preparation, including those at FC Barcelona. Among them, Lamine Yamal and Ansu Fati are observing the fast, an additional challenge in the realm of top-level football.

A scene particularly caught the media's attention during the Catalan club's latest training session. While his teammates were hydrating, Yamal temporarily stepped away from the group, content with teasing the ball. Fati, feverish, was absent. Video:

Barça implements a specific program

Aware of the demands associated with fasting, the Barça staff has put in place a specific program to maintain the physical condition of its players.

According to the daily Sport, a strict nutritional follow-up is applied, with optimized diet and maximum hydration before sunrise.

It is worth noting that the Catalan club has already managed similar situations with Ousmane Dembélé and Franck Kessié, ensuring that Yamal and Fati can combine faith and performance.

This special attention allows the footballers to remain competitive while respecting their religious beliefs.
