Raheem Sterling is switching up his diet after claiming that weight gain caused him to suffer from hamstring problems during his maiden campaign at Stamford Bridge.
The 28-year-old is planning on cutting down his calorific intake in order to trim down before the new season commences.
He said: 'In the season I changed a bit of my diet and went to do something a little bit different that I had not done before.
'And I had a little bit more kilograms on me that I have not had before. I think probably carrying a little bit of extra weight I had a few hamstring problems and that was it.
'Towards the end of the season the hamstring was playing up again.
'Me and the manager made a decision together that the best thing for me to do was to get the hamstring right.'
When asked about what he is now doing different, he replied: 'Just eating a little bit less.'
Sterling missed eight games last season due to a reoccurring hamstring injury which plagued his progress in January and March.
Like most of the Chelsea squad, he failed to hit the ground running in 2022/23 and only managed to bag six goals from 28 Premier League appearances.
His below-par performances meant he was left out of England's Euro 2024 qualifying matches against Malta and North Macedonia in June.
But Sterling is planning on clawing his way back into Gareth Southgate's side with a fresh diet plan and renewed vigour.

"While I was ready to play a throw-in, I was surprised by Mourinho next to me talking to me seriously as if he was giving me instructions. “Go to Ozil and tell him he must go forward in the middle faster!” he said, approaching my ear. “I looked at him in amazement and didnt respond to him, but after I entered the stadium and arrived next to Ozil, I told him what he said involuntarily. “What surprised me most was that Ozil nodded to his coach that he knew the instructions as if it was normal! .. The funniest thing is that the result was a 2-1 lead for Dortmund, after which Ozil managed to equalize. Schmelzer, the Dortmund player, on Mourinho's instructions..😂
