England’s training will include heated tents in order to simulate the conditions that they might encounter at the upcoming World Cup in the USA, Canada, and Mexico.

Thomas Tuchel and his team are training in Spain’s Girona.

On Saturday, England will face Andorra in a World Cup qualifier before hosting Senegal in a friendly at Nottingham Forest’s City Ground on June 10.

The World Cup’s potential scorching temperatures and high humidity will be examined by the England head coach and the Football Association performance staff during the training camp.

In the conditions that players can expect during the tournament, they will use exercise bikes to conduct fitness tests inside the tents, and their recovery will be evaluated.

Tuchel stated last week that he expects his players to “suffer” in the conditions of the tournament and that he will assess the conditions before hosting the Club World Cup this summer in the United States.

“It’s important to watch matches now in America and at three in the afternoon in Miami,” Tuchel said.

“I’ll check that,” he says. How it appears, and how to properly cool the players before drinking. What choices are available to us.

Because it will be the end of the season, “Let’s see,” it will be very similar. Although the players have an experience, I haven’t seen much of it during the pre-season in Orlando, so I’m surprised if we don’t suffer. This World Cup’s headlines include suffering.

The temperatures at 14 of the 16 stadiums used for the 2026 World Cup have been deemed to be above “potentially dangerous levels” during the competition. More than 80% of the June and July days in the host city of Dallas exceed 28C on average each year.
