Wales manager Chris Coleman has revealed that he will not allow players' wives and girlfriends to be present in the team hotel during the group stages of Euro 2016.
Wales will appear in their first major international tournament since the 1958 World Cup when they travel to France this summer, with the Brittany coastal resort of Dinard playing host to the team.
However, Coleman has said that players will only be able to spend time with their families if they get past the group stages.
"We have three games and there will be no family, no girlfriends, no wives in our hotel in the first period of the group stage. We have three games in 10 days and there's no time, we are preparing, travelling, playing, travelling," he told reporters.
"We said let's get through the group because then there's a six-day period and we can have a day where we say it's OK to spend some time with the family - and then, bang, we are at it again. It's no good us saying we are in camp for so long or complain about that. We have been wanting to get there for so long. We have been desperate to get to a camp.
"If one of the players say they have a bit of cabin fever then good, we have waited long enough. Let's get through the group and then the players can have a day with their families and friends. We are out there to make sure we do Wales proud and to do that we have to prepare properly."
Wales have been drawn alongside England, Russia and Slovakia in Group B of Euro 2016.
