Germany players have been banned from sex during the upcoming 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.

Joachim Low, Germany coach has banned his players from having sex, or using social media networks during this year’s  World Cup.

Joachim Low does not want the players’ partners ruining his preparations in Russia.

Players will be forced to ask for special permission to see their other halves and even their children.

Social media will also be prohibited for the likes of Leroy Sane, Mesut Ozil, Marco Reus and Thomas Muller, who social media platforms are very active.

However, Low will allow the players to drink, to help boost team spirits, with the boss insisting:

“The team is more important than the ego.”

Germany have started training in South Tyrol in preparation for the world cup, in north-east Italy this week.

In other reports, Super Eagles Head coach, Gernot Rohr, has cut down his provisional squad for this summer’s World Cup from 30 to 25 players.

Those removed from the previous 30-man squad are: Dele Ajiboye,Moses Simon  Uche Agbo, Stephen Eze and Junior Lokosa.

These particular players will not travel with the rest of the Super Eagles team to London, where Nigeria will take on the Three Lions of England on Saturday.

Rohr will drop two more players after that game and then name his final 23-man squad.
