Real Madrid's Concerns Over Eden Hazard's Weight Gain ¶
Eden Hazard, the Belgian midfielder, has been at the center of controversy after his recent weight gain, which has raised concerns among Real Madrid's management and fans.
According to reports, Hazard has gained over 7 kilograms, which has sparked worries about his fitness and readiness for the upcoming season.
Real Madrid's president, Florentino Perez, has been quoted as saying that he was not pleased with Hazard's weight gain and that he had only signed him because of Zinedine Zidane's request.
However, this is not the first time that Hazard has been criticized for his weight gain. During the 2015-2016 season, he was accused of being overweight, which was seen as a contributing factor to the team's poor performance.
Despite the concerns, Real Madrid is expected to start the new season with Hazard in the team, although his fitness and readiness will be closely monitored.
It remains to be seen how Hazard will perform in the upcoming season, but one thing is certain - his weight gain has sparked a lot of debate and concern among Real Madrid's fans and management.
