Arsenal's Hector Bellerin has revealed that he is one of a growing number of sportspeople to be following a strict vegan diet this season.
The 23-year-old informed his mass following on Twitter that he has turned his back on meat and has opted for a plant-based diet, one which he hails as giving him the energy and recovering ability he needs as a professional athlete.
Speaking to the Players Tribune, Bellerin spoke of when he made the change in diet, saying: "Since the beginning of the season, more or less.
"At the beginning I wanted to try for a couple of weeks to detox my body, but I just felt so great after it that I have kept going for more than six months.
