Micah Richards links Salah's struggle to Ramadan fasting

Mohamed Salah, a star player for Liverpool, has not performed as well in recent games. In two important matches, he seemed less impactful than usual. Micah Richards, a former footballer, offered his perspective on why Salah might be struggling. Salah has had a remarkable season overall, with 32 goals and 22 assists. However, he had little influence in Liverpool's recent loss to Newcastle in the Carabao Cup final. Newcastle won their first domestic trophy in 70 years, while Liverpool managed to score only in stoppage time. Just before this match, Liverpool was eliminated from the Champions League by Paris Saint-Germain in a penalty shootout. Richards believes Salah's performance dip could be linked to Ramadan, a holy month for Muslims. During Ramadan, many choose to fast from sunrise to sunset. This began on February 28 and will last until March 30. Richard noted that fasting likely affects Salah's energy levels, making it challenging for him to play at his best. Liverpool's next game is scheduled for April 2.
