Faking an injury in a football game is common practice followed by the players on the field. Recently, Tunisian goalkeeper Mouez Hassen was spotted faking his injury during a World Cup warm-up match against Turkey. But, the reason he gave for doing it was quite unique.
According to the reports, Mouez Hassen faked his injury in order to help his teammates break their Ramadan fast.
