With German football on pause until January 12, Borussia Dortmund‘s players will be wise to go easy on the turkey.
Out-of-favour right back Thomas Meunier has revealed a strict policy takes place in North Rhine-Westphalia to make sure no one enjoys their time off too much.
Speaking to French outlet RTBF, he said: A fine of 1,000 euros will be imposed for every kilo you gain.
“If you are a better player, it will even be 1000 euros per hundred grams. I’m not going to mention a name, but there is a player who had to pay a 10,000 euro fine.
“He was given the opportunity to reduce the fine if he lost the weight again. He also managed that.”
The Bundesliga giants are currently coming off of two crisis meetings at board level with head coach Edin Terzic’s job at risk.
The local manager led his side to the top of their Champions League group of death, but in the league, it’s a different story with the side fifth and winless in six games.
