Liverpool midfielder-come-defender Emre Can took to social media to wish his followers a happy Eid festival.
The 21-year-old shared a short clip of himself on Instagram praying before a Premier League game in a Liverpool shirt alongside the caption: “Eid mubarek to all my moslem brothers and sisters!!!”
Can also shared the same message in Turkish. The Liverpool youngster was born in Germany but is of Turkish descent and is bi-lingual in both languages.
Eid al-Adha is the second of two religious holidays celebrated by Muslims worldwide each year.
The religious holiday centres around the meat from a sacrificed animal being given to the poor and needy.
Can starred in the Reds 2-1 win over League 2 side Carlisle in the Carling Cup yesterday scoring a Panenka in the penalty shoot out to help his side progress to the next round.
