Antony blames Qatar World Cup air conditioning after Brazil squad laid low by illness

Manchester United winger Antony believes the air conditioning at World Cup stadiums in Qatar is responsible for rendering him and a number of his Brazil teammates unwell.

Illness has spread around the Selecao base over the last week and Neymar, who is recovering from an ankle injury, is among those to have suffered with symptoms of a fever. Antony suspects the air conditioning at some of the eight stadiums playing host to the tournament in Qatar is to blame for the recent outbreak.

Nozzles have been positioned around the edges of pitches to shoot cold air out at a variety of angles and cover as much of the playing area as possible. There are also nozzles beneath seats to provide relief from the desert heat for supporters in the stands.
