Juventus defender Matthijs de Ligt has dismissed reports that he is overweight and being made to follow a strict diet to try and get back into shape.
The youngster, who gave away a penalty in Sunday's 2-1 win over Inter, has faced criticism from some fans for his occasional mistakes. There have been rumours that those errors were because of De Ligt's weight, with manager Maurizio Sarri even speculated to have put him on a strict diet to help manage the alleged problem.
However, speaking to NU.nl, De Ligt laughed off the rumours, but he did admit that he is still learning what it takes to make it at an elite side like Juventus.
