Germany star who was axed from World Cup after being caught with a sex worker reveals he’s had PILES for 10 years

MAX KRUSE has revealed the torment of his ten-year battle with HAEMORRHOIDS.

The striker won 14 caps for Germany and played for Bundesliga clubs Borussia Monchengladbach, Werder Bremen and Wolfsburg.

Newly-retired Kruse said earlier this week that he was axed from Germany‘s 2014 World Cup-winning squad after being caught with a sex worker in London.

And the 36-year-old has now confessed to suffering further pain after living with piles for a decade.

Kruse is currently taking part in German TV’s version of Big Brother.

He told housemates: “I have haemorrhoids. I have never been to the doctors about them.

“I have been fighting a running battle with them for ten years.

“I am no fan of the idea of using the sort of chair a woman sits on at the gynaecologist’s surgery to have my backside looked at.

“Then someone will fumble around in my rear end.  I still struggle to cope with the idea.”

Kruse’s housemates Leyla Lahouar and Mike Heiter voiced their dismay at having to use the same toilet and swimming pool as him.

They also urged the former German international to see a doctor once he leaves the Big Brother house.

Kruse has made as many headlines off the field as on it during his controversial career.

He has enjoyed a lucrative side hustle playing poker, regularly competing at the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas.

But he was disciplined by Wolfsburg in 2016 after losing 75,000 euros in cash, which he left in the back of a taxi.

His other clubs include St Pauli, Freiburg, Union Berlin, SC Paderborn and Turkish side Fenerbahce.
