Wales and Juventus star Aaron Ramsey has admitted he is worried about getting fat during the coronavirus lockdown because of his biscuit obsession.

The 29-year-old midfielder is in Italy, where it has recently been announced that their lockdown will be extended until early May in order to avoid a second wave of the virus that has decimated the country.

With Serie A games suspended until at least late May, Ramsey worries that his love of food combined with his wife’s love of cooking could cause him to gain some unwanted weight.

‘I’ve been doing the programmes the club have sent over, keeping fit most days.’ he said.

‘But it’s not the same as training or playing games where you don’t have any worries about putting on weight.

‘It’s difficult because my wife likes to cook and I like to eat so it’s not a good combination. When I am back at it I am pretty strict but it’s difficult at the moment.

‘I’ve got all the kids biscuits and I’m just raiding that every time I go for a cup of tea!

‘Hopefully, we get out of this as soon as possible and get back to normal because it’s difficult.’
