Kevin-Prince Boateng: AC Milan Star Allegedly Sidelined by Bedroom Exploits

How much is too much? Just ask Kevin-Prince Boateng.

According to SuperSport, the AC Milan star will be out for a month with a muscular lesion in his left thigh. The official report states that Boateng was injured during the Rossoneri's 1-0 loss to Inter Milan in the Milanese derby last weekend.

However, his girlfriend would beg to differ as to the cause of the malady. Melissa Satta, an Italian-American model and Boateng's main squeeze since this past October, blames the Ghanaian midfielder's injury on the frequency of their bedroom romps. She told SuperSport:

"The reason why he is always injured is because we have sex 7-10 times a week."

An unusual way to sustain a knock, to say the least, though no more head-scratching than, say, the time Chicago Cubs slugger Sammy Sosa threw out his back while sneezing or Los Angeles Kings forward Dustin Penner did the same while eating a delicious stack of pancakes.

At least Boateng's problem came by way of rigorous and frequent physical activity—a freaky accident rather than a freak one, if you will.

Whatever the actual origin of Boateng's injury may be, he'll likely have to sit until late February. That will keep him out of action for Ghana at the African Cup of Nations as well as for Milan's next eight matches, including a pivotal tilt with Arsenal at the San Siro in UEFA Champions League play.

The club's physicians can only hope he won't spend too much of his downtime with Satta, lest his injury persist indefinitely.
