Harry Styles is too precious to play football during One Direction's tour of America.
The singer wanted to have a kick about when the boys are in Hollywood next week - but bosses are worried because it could get rough.
'His management team said point blank: "No way",' a source tells the Daily Star.
'They've told him he's not insured if he injures himself.
'It would be a disaster if Harry got hurt and couldn't perform with the rest of the band just for the sake of a game of football.'
And Harry needs to take care of himself - back in February, he had a bad back.
'I have bad posture,' Harry, 18, told The Sun.
'I've been told to take Pilates once a week.'
