🗣 Eden Hazard: "It's true, I was overweight, I can't lie. But if I'm on holiday, I'm on holiday. I gained five kilos in the summer. I'm someone who puts on weight very quickly, but I can lose it fast as well." pic.twitter.com/lXAeUizHKw

In a recent interview with French outlet L’Equipe, Eden Hazard spoke about issues surrounding his weight. The former Chelsea winger added that “[My weight?] I don’t hide it. When I am on vacation, I am on vacation. I am someone who takes weight fast and loses it fast. When I was in Lille at 18, I weighed 72 kilos. Afterwards, I gained muscle mass up to 75 kilos. On a bad day, I weight 77 kilos but weighed 80 this summer. I lost everything in ten days.” Eden Hazard was pictured on the training circuit with Real Madrid fitness coach recently which sparked rumours that he could return to the starting line-up for the Atletico Madrid clash next month.
