Didn't think Nasri was strict and I saw Dzeko drinking out of a bottle during the Swansea match

There were full page interviews and back story around Dzeko and his religion in the papers when he arrived at City, and also his experience during the war when Yugoslavia was breaking apart.

'Edin is a practising Muslim but prays once a day rather than the traditional five. He is also extremely generous - he once gave a new Skoda Octavia to a taxi driver in Bosnia who used to give him a lift to training when he was a boy'.

Yaya and Kolo are quite religious even though they have tattoos (strictly forbidden in Islam), however they say they did not know at the time. Edin is not religious.
Couple of youth players/reserves are v. religious (Muslims)
