Ex-Milan star Boateng's wife regrets blaming injuries on marathon sex sessions

Kevin-Prince Boateng's wife has revealed her regrets at lifting the lid on their wild sex life.

Stunning Wag Melissa Satta caused uproar when she said the midfielder, then with AC Milan, got injured so often because they romped ten times a week.

Italian TV presenter Melissa and former Portsmouth ace Boateng met in 2011 and wed four years ago.

They have a six-year-old son, Maddox, and are expecting a second child.

Melissa said in 2012: "The reason Kevin is injured so often is because we have sex seven to 10 times a week.

"I hate foreplay, I want to go straight for it. I prefer to be on top so that I can be in control."

The comments have since followed Boateng, 32, through his nomadic career.

He moved on to Schalke, rejoined Milan then had spells with Las Palmas, Eintracht Frankfurt, Sassuolo, Barcelona and Fiorentina.

The Ghana international is currently on loan to Turkish club Besiktas.

A rueful Melissa, 33, has now told Gazzetta dello Sport she made a mistake in revealing the couple's bedroom romps.

The brunette said: "You can't believe what a whirlwind I ended up in.

"You have to be very careful about what you say in football, especially when it comes to sex.

"Just because we have sex so often doesn't make me a nymphomaniac."

Boateng ironically failed to score in 24 Spurs appearances following his £5.4million move from hometown club Hertha Berlin in 2007.

He had a season on loan to Borussia Dortmund before his top-flight campaign with Pompey a decade ago.
