Premier League Ralph Hasenhuttl thinks it is a problem
The Southampton players aren’t given access to Wi-Fi at team hotels in order to prevent them from staying up late playing video games.
Coach Ralph Hasenhuttl believes games such as FIFA or Fortnite pose posed a significant enough problem to take this measure.
“It’s something you get addicted to and that means we have to protect the players,” he told the BBC.
“It’s something you have to force actively against and I will do this,”
“I did it in my last club [RB Leipzig].
“We had also problems with players, as they were playing until 03:00 before a game.
“You have to help protect them because it’s not a small problem.
“If you are honest it’s the same as alcoholism or getting addicted to drugs.
“To protect them means helping them not to spend so much time there.
“We block the Wi-Fi in the hotel, for example, in the evening so they can’t play anymore.”
