Water breaks will be reintroduced for this weekend's Premier League fixtures to help players cope with the searing heatwave across England.
The Met Office have issued an Amber weather warning with highs of 30°C forecast in Brighton for Newcastle United's visit to the Amex Stadium on Saturday.
One-minute drink breaks were first introduced in the Premier League in June 2020, to help players deal with the demands of a gruelling fixture list, after the three-month break imposed by Covid.
