A ban has been slapped by England boss Fabio Capello on players' wives and girlfriends setting up a base near their World Cup training camp.

According to the Sun reports, the hard line coach declared glitzy Sun City, which WAGS decided to make their base during the World Cup, strictly off limits. This place is 14 miles from Rustenberg, where the team will train. Hotels in the resort city had already been taking bookings from them.

Determined that this summer's squad will have no distractions, Capello said players will only get family time the day after each of their World Cup games.

"After the games, they will be free for a day to do what they want. No more," 63 old said.

The England manager was backed by new skipper Steven Gerrard.

"My wife won't be there. Not unless we get to the semis," the midfielder vowed. (With input from agencies)
