GERMANY’S Euro 2024 stars have come in for a stinging attack… after their training camp was invaded by MOSQUITOES.

Julian Nagelsmann‘s players have given their country a buzz by reaching the Round of 16.

But Die Mannschaft have found things far less comfortable at their Bavarian base, with a plague of mozzies tormenting the squad.

And veteran keeper Manuel Neuer has had to swap goal nets for mosquito nets to keep the pests at bay.

Bayern Munich star Neuer, 38, said: “We need to make sure that the mosquito nets are always pulled shut when we are watching games on TV by the swimming pool.”

Boss Nagelsmann said: “We have an abnormal plague of mosquitos. We need to take care that some wind is blowing, in order that there aren’t too many mosquitos around.

“If that isn’t the case, we have to go inside into the office.”

Striker Maximilian Beier, 21, added: “I have already been stung two or three times.

“But if the mosquitoes are the biggest problem that we have, that is OK.”

A combination of floods in southern Germany and unseasonal heat has sparked the rise of the insects.
