Real Madrid star Eden Hazard has admitted he is struggling to control his diet while in quarantine amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Just like all of us, football stars far and wide are having to self-isolate at home as a result of the global health crisis.
Ian Holloway slams Kyle Walker and others who have broken coronavirus lockdown guidelines – ‘Brainless, irresponsible!’
By his own admission the former Chelsea man is struggling to adapt during this period of uncertainty.
“It’s complicated for me,” Hazard told RTBF, per Marca.
“I’m trying not to eat a lot. I’m trying not to go into the pantry to eat a lot of buns, but it’s not easy.”
It’s not the first time Hazard has openly discussed his lifestyle, after admitting in an interview last year that his weight is known to fluctuate when he takes his eye off it.
The Belgian, 29, left Stamford Bridge last summer to complete his mega money move to Real Madrid ahead of the 2019/20 season before going on holiday.
And during that time off he incredibly nearly put on a stone – although he lost all the excess weight in just ten days.
“It is true. I will not hide it. When I am on vacation, I am on vacation,” he told AS.
“I gained five kilos in summer. I am one of those who gain weight quickly and lose it fast if I pay attention.
“When I was 18, in Lille, I weighed 72 (11st 4lbs) /73 kilos . Then, when I gained muscle mass, I went to 75 – On a bad day, 77.
“This summer I reached 80 kilos (12st, 8lbs). I lost everything in ten days.”
Hazard, currently recovering from an ankle injury sustained against Levante in February, has endured a frustrating start to life at the Bernabeu with just 15 appearances to his name so far.
