‘My abs are not Photoshopped,’ Higuain insists

When he first signed for the Turin side, the Argentine was criticised for being out of shape - but now he faces very different accusations.

Juventus striker Gonzalo Higuain has been forced into a defence of his physique – not because he is out of shape but because of his ripped stomach, with some questioning whether a photo posted on his Instagram account is real.

The Argentine striker, who signed for Juve from Napoli in the summer for a club record fee of €90 million, was criticised for being out of shape when he arrived in Turin.

 Now, though, he is a very different beast and showed off his abs on social media after a training session during the winter break.
