Veteran coach and ex-Ghana international Malik Jabir claims players in domestic leagues lack endurance because of excessive sex.

The Ghana U23 coach also laments that the current generation of footballers struggle to play 90 minutes.

"A lot of today’s players cannot play 90 minutes because they get tired easily. And you know why? Because they don’t sleep enough, don’t train enough and engage in too much sex,” Jabir told Kumasi-based Ultimate FM.

"There are many beautiful young girls around and these players won’t leave them alone.

"There’s time for that (sex) and there’s time for football. If you mix the two, you can’t reach the top."
