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. One aspect that players and staff have had to grow used to over recent days are the scorching temperatures over in Qatar, with the thermometers rising up to heats of 33 degrees throughout their stay so far.
The forecast is not predicting a drop any time soon meaning that the temperatures could potentially cause havoc during England’s clash with Iran. Luckily, Southgate and his staff have put a detailed plan in place in order to combat the blistering heat.
