Arab cleric says Mo Salah's injury is 'punishment for breaking fast'

"He can simply make up for it after Ramadan"

Valid questions were raised

"OK, sheikh ... Muslim footballer Karim Benzema also broke his fast ... so how did the game work in his favor?" 

Al-Bathali believes Salah was punished during the game, but hundreds of thousands of people think Ramos is the one who should be punished. 

Following Salah's heartbreaking injury on Saturday, an online petition demanding Ramos be punished by football authorities surfaced. 

It has since amassed nearly half a million signatures at the time of writing.

On Saturday, the 25-year-old footballer, who scored 44 goals in all competitions for Liverpool this season, left the field with ligament damage in his shoulder following a controversial challenge involving Real Madrid captain and defender, Sergio Ramos.
