One of the benefits of the social media presence of big football clubs is that fans can get a glimpse inside the training ground to see their favourite players at their day job.

Chelsea TV broadcast a training session involving yoga balls for exercises to improve the players' balance and reactions. While the first drill has a clear benefit for improving off-balance ballwork, as strange as it is, the second one with the wheelbarrows and hand-balls? And the bouncing? No idea what's going on there.

Eden Hazard looked to be enjoying it anyway, earlier in the week he gave himself 5/100 defending when discussing what his stats should be on FIFA 18. His own biggest critic apparently.
