Hazard 'trying not to eat a lot of buns' in coronavirus lockdown

Real Madrid attacker Eden Hazard says he is finding it difficult to avoid eading a lot of buns as the lockdown in Spain continues.

Hazard has been recovering from a calf injury that he suffered in late-February, before the coronavirus pandemic brought a halt to football across the world.

Spain, which has suffered over 166,000 confirmed cases and almost 17,000 coronavirus-related deaths, has been in lockdown since March and prime minister Pedro Sanchez has requested that the current measures to contain the spread of Covid-19 be extended until at least April 26.
