Former Premier League star’s Wag hits back at vile online trolls who have branded her ‘anorexic’
Pavel Pogrebnyak’s wife Maria Pogrebnyak-Shatalova furious at sick Instagram trolling calling her "skinny" and "scrawny"
FORMER Premier League star Pavel Pogrebnyak’s model wife says she is sick of being trolled online with users calling her “anorexic”.
Maria Pogrebnyak-Shatalova, 29, is married to Russian striker Pogrebnyak, 32, who enjoyed spells at Reading and Fulham, but now plays for Dynamo Moscow.
She also took part in British reality show Meet the Russians and regularly posts glamorous photographs of herself on social media.
But fans have recently started commenting on her “skeletal figure” and telling her she no longer looks attractive.
Mum-of-three Maria insists she is happy with her body shape and does not understand why she has come under-fire for her slimline look.
And the blonde Wag is furious at being labelled “skinny”, “scrawny” and “anorexic” by users online.
She said: “My husband likes the way I look. I am not starving, I eat normally. I live an active lifestyle and I’m always on the move, so I burn off a lot of calories.

“I read that I am a bad example for teenagers? But I am all for a healthy lifestyle! I just do not drink sweet drinks or eat fast food, because they’re harmful.”
But social media users have continued to criticise her figure.
Netizen lm_sam said: “Maria you have lost so much weight and you are not pretty anymore”, while rabbitfunky added: “She is a skeleton!”

But not everybody agreed. Loyal fan any198523 hit back at critics and fumed: “Maria, how can you stand all this? There are some mean and envious people. You are beautiful!”
