Bemused soccer players at struggling Championship side Southampton have been ordered to give up sex and "live like monks" until they are safe from relegation.
Southampton boss Mark Wotte is determined his players should not be tired out by nocturnal nookie, suggesting players behave by sleeping in their kitchens — away from wives or girlfriends.
The 48-year-old Dutchman has even suggested his players send their partners on holiday for two weeks so they are not tempted to get their leg over as they focus on a run of five games in a fortnight.
Speaking ahead of a match against Ipswich Town, Wotte said: "The players have to really live like monks — they have to sleep in the kitchen and drink only water and very good other liquids and have proper food.
"I tell the players to send their wives to a resort and have a very good sleep. They must focus only on football."
