Newcastle United will turn to a cryotherapy chamber at their Benton base to deal with the packed festive programme.
Despite the plummeting temperatures on Tyneside in recent weeks, United players will take the plunge into tanks and dip below temperatures of minus 100 as they look to cope with five matches in 18 days. Their fixture list is certainly season-defining as they look to keep hopes alive in the FA Cup and League Cup, and keep their bid for Europe intact.
Stars like Ronaldo have turned to the icy treatment to stay fresh for games and maintain career longevity by dipping into the minus 100 temperatures for up to three minutes at a time. Man City's use of cryotherapy is well known and featured in their All or Nothing series on Amazon while Leicester used similar techniques during their title-winning season in 2016.
