Eden Hazard has opened up on his weight problems as a footballer during a new podcast episode with former Chelsea team-mate John Obi Mikel.

Mikel's Obi One podcast has attracted some big names from the past 20 years of Blues history, including former manager Jose Mourinho and ex-players John Terry and Frank Lampard.

In the latest episode published on Monday, Belgian winger Hazard, 33, has revealed some of the problems he had with his weight and fitness during his professional career.

Hazard retired from the game in October and revealed that he had retired because he 'wasn't having fun on the pitch' anymore following his release by Real Madrid.
