Eden Hazard reportedly arrived at Real Madrid's pre-season tour in Montreal seven kilos overweight.
It has been far from smooth sailing for Bernabeu boss Zinedine Zidane this summer, with his signings failing to impress, Gareth Bale still on the books and the small matter of a 7-3 defeat by city rivals Atletico.
But another problem Zidane never thought he would have to encounter was Hazard's weight.
According to Sport, the Belgian reported for duty on the club's pre-season tour of North America several kilos overweight.
It has caused friction at the club with president Florentino Perez, who hailed Hazard as the player to solve all of Real Madrid's problems during the player's unveiling, has distanced himself from playing a part in his acquisition.
Instead, it is reported, sources have said Perez now has no confidence in Hazard and signed him only at the request of Zidane.
Hazard, who smashed the club's transfer record after sealing a £150million move earlier this summer, will have to bear much of the brunt of the attacking burden at the Bernabeu this summer.
With Bale's future still in limbo and Marco Asensio set to be sidelined all season after rupturing his ACL, Zidane needs Hazard to fire if Los Blancos are to make the marked improvement this term.
