According to safety guidelines, work or play in the blazing sun or other hot areas should be avoided whenever possible. According to the Daily Mail, yesterday, FIFA informed the publication that its medical experts are working with their colleagues at the club regarding the increasing heat and humidity, and that their main priority is the safety of all participants. The “Blue” head coach, Enzo Maresy, previously had to adapt to the temperature, limiting the number of players to those with muscle problems, such as Rice James and Romeo Lavia.
