England hatch detailed plan to handle sizzling Qatar heat - including 'heat shack' at HQ

England have a multi-stage plan in place in order to combat the sizzling heat of the Qatari desert ahead of their World Cup opener against Iran.

Gareth Southgate ’s Three Lions have already flown over to the country ahead of Monday’s Group B opener and have taken part in a number of training sessions as final preparations are complete.
