England WAGs will have private security when they travel to Qatar for the World Cup later this month. According to The Sun, some will be paying to have their own bodyguards, while the Football Association will also shell out money towards protection of the players' families from robberies and to ensure they adhere to the strict laws that exist in the Arabian Gulf.

"There will be a ring of steel around the WAGs. Many of the players are paying for their own security and the FA are taking steps too. Remember, a lot of the wives and girlfriends flying out there will be taking jewellery and clothing worth hundreds of thousands of pounds. This makes them a target for robbers and criminals," said a source.

Some of the WAGs who are likely to travel to Qatar are Jack Grealish's girlfriend Sasha Attwood, Anna Modler, who is dating Eric Dier, Georgina Irwin, who is engaged to goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale, Phil Foden's girlfriend Rebecca Cooke and Harry Maguire's wife Fern, among others.
