April 26, 2021 Leicester City's Wesley Fofana in action with Crystal Palace's Wilfried Zaha [ REUTERS]Wesley Fofana gave thanks to the Premier League, his Leicester teammates and opponents Crystal Palace on Monday for allowing him to break his Ramadan fast. Naturally this made Fofana's preparation for Monday night's clash against Palace particularly gruelling, given it had a scheduled kick-off time of 8pm. As per Ramadan rules, Fofana was able to break his fast from 8:17pm in the UK, and eventually managed to take a drink 34 minutes into the meeting at the King Power Stadium. It is the third time the defender has played during Ramadan, having featured in Leicester's last two fixtures against Southampton and West Brom. Speaking after the win over the Baggies on Thursday - where Fofana played over an hour - Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers had been full of praise for the 20-year-old Frenchman, who is of Malian descent.
