Speaking on the Kyle Walker Podcast, the 34-year-old said: “You have to be disciplined. The food out here is amazing. The flavours... a piece of bread tastes good. The food at the training ground is incredible - I bring it back to the hotel, I am not getting room service. They did a pesto pasta today. The tomatoes are even nice here.
“We get weighed every day. Your weight can't change in a day. Even if you go out and have a big pizza or steak, it is not going to be drastically high so they ask 'what have you been doing?'.
“If you have two or three days off you have to be a little careful because the manager is very keen on keeping the lads' weight down. That is the way football is going. Every small detail matters.”
