(Reuters) - Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuettl has ordered team hotels to block his players from having wifi access as he wants to prevent them from becoming video game addicts.

The Austrian coach, who encountered similar issues at his former club RB Leipzig, feels lengthy gaming sessions can be compared to alcohol and drug addiction.
