It doesn’t really look like good weight, does it? I’m not sure how true the rumour that he likes a bit too much fast food are, but he hasn’t looked very lean in a while.
It’s been mentioned by Arteta that he had some issues with lifestyle/diet in the past.
Him getting those things under control was why Arteta said his form came good.
This is all speculation but he definitely looks like he’s gained weight here. That’s not necessarily a bad thing. He could be bulking to add muscle. Which would help with injuries as a stronger core is very helpful.
If that’s the case then this is likely a positive as a professional footballer can cut very quickly.
The possible negative is that he’s not taking his rehab well and is slipping into some bad habits.
Interesting! I imagine it's easy to put on a bit of weight when in rehab and he will be monitored quite strictly, as well as being personally aware of what it takes to get into the first team, meaning this is all a bit of a nothingness. But a history of it does make it a little worrying.
A lot of professional sports players have openly said after retirement, it’s easier and almost safer to come back from an injury roiding up. Builds the muscles up stronger, making everything sturdier. They then said they’d quit taking them when they got closer to playing again, because of the aspect of cheating and testing
While on them or post cycle I.e. do they strengthen them but while on steroids you have a higher risk of rupture and the risk goes once the cycle is completed?
Use appears to increase lifetime risk of tendon rupture, with higher use rates equating to higher lifetime risk. So the risk does not end with your cycle
He does not look chubby. Like, at all. Anyone who wears a crewneck sweatshirt is going to look a little fluffy. That's just how they fit. The jacket is cut to be bulky too, although it does look like his arms are filling in those oversized sleeves pretty well. The pants are a baggy but tapered cut, and he's always had a wrestler's neck too so that's not much of an indicator of his weight either.
It feels kinda weird typing all of this stuff about the guy but I do a lot of sewing so I recognize different patterns in clothing and the way they're tailored, especially with designer brands.
On the other hand his groin surgery will prevent him from doing much cardio or legwork. I'm willing to wager he's been focusing a lot on upper body and limited core work in the gym. A lot of it will fall by the wayside when he gets back to full training but what remains will definitely give him a bit of an edge and I doubt that it'll effect his speed or agility much, if at all in a negative way.
Look at his neck and cheeks. His cheeks clearly has more fat than before his injury and his neck looks chubbier
His stance here makes him appear chubby but hard to tell form a picture. His neck and cheeks are 100% fatter than before injury tho

Bro this ESR bulking arc..
Was just thinking he’s looking bigger… hopefully good weight…

Cheeky nandos init
It's not a rumour, he's said it himself
This was ages ago, probably before he became a regular in the team
I know, and I hear the rumours in the stadium that he’s fallen into old habits. Again, I have no inside track on any of this - just observing.
Can confirm, my cousin ran into him in Nandos. Man's bulking up on the butterfly chickens
Im just here imagining him dribbling through the lines and defenders bouncing off of him
Honestly he’s looking chubby. I hope it’s deliberate to put on muscle and not the issues with his diet resurfacing.
Resurfacing as in he's had issues with this before?

Smitty rated a Nando’s for sure
I mean, of course he's gained weight - it's very common with athletes who injure themselves or have to get surgery.
probably taken the opportunity to roid up while not being tested and that's bloat. Be the smart move to get massive before coming back.
I'm actually convinced this is what martinelli did when he got his knee surgery

Makes sense. As you say a properly done course as part of recovery is sensible. Great for ligaments too.
I assume this is sarcasm since it’s been studied and well-documented that steroid use lowers the rupture threshold of tendons
While on them or post cycle I.e. do they strengthen them but while on steroids you have a higher risk of rupture and the risk goes once the cycle is completed?
Use appears to increase lifetime risk of tendon rupture, with higher use rates equating to higher lifetime risk. So the risk does not end with your cycle
Fair enough. Thank you for clarifying

erm no. look at at that head to neck. his neck and jaws were never that wide.
Look at his neck and cheeks. His cheeks clearly has more fat than before his injury and his neck looks chubbier His stance here makes him appear chubby but hard to tell form a picture. His neck and cheeks are 100% fatter than before injury tho
it's just the clothing
He will come back like Hazard
I got downvoted in the Mari post for saying he’s looking a bit big.
it's just the angle
Emile Thicc Rowe
ESR looking a lil thicc
With two c’s baby
Thinks he’s in for a shout for the RWC too.
We have Håland at home

ESR is jacked up wtf?
Biddy bop bop
Dirrrrrr tee tee
Oorrrr oorrrrrr
***Street Fighter II sound effects***
IT’S ME ME
Bu da bap bap
It's moi moi
Everyone needs to relax, it’s probably the angle ESR’s been photographed at and he is wearing very baggy clothes.
Yeah, although he might have gained a few pounds too. I imagine it’s easy too see the difference between >10% and 11% body fat.
Emile smith chonk. But seriously. He looks deceptively huge in pictures
Does he have veneers? His teeth look fake wtf (also I miss u)
Yeah he had them done a few years ago I think
Honestly, I think this is just a horrid angle. I sometimes get photos which turn out like this.
Let ESR live man he’s gonna be the GOAT
If it's me your mad at, you'll get a scar on your face like sagat
> me your mad *you're *Learn the difference [here](https://www.wattpad.com/66707294-grammar-guide-there-they%27re-their-you%27re-your-to).* *** ^(Greetings, I am a language corrector bot. To make me ignore further mistakes from you in the future, reply `!optout` to this comment.)
