Riyad Mahrez has explained two of the key benefits of Manchester City taking their preparations for the new season to the United States this summer.
City are currently training in Houston, Texas, ahead of their first pre-season friendly of the summer against Club America in the early hours of Thursday morning, UK time. After that they will travel up to Wisconsin to take on Bayern Munich in Green Bay before returning home for the Community Shield clash against Liverpool on 30 July.
Manchester is currently experiencing a unprecedented heatwave, but temperatures around the 38 degrees Celsius mark are pretty much the norm for summertime in Texas. The heat may be uncomfortable, but Mahrez sees the benefit of training in a hot climate.
