England boss Tuchel set for stateside trip at FIFA Club World Cup
England boss Thomas Tuchel will travel to the United States to watch the newly-revamped FIFA Club World Cup this summer, with all 63 games broadcast live on DAZN.
The German is making the trip Stateside to assess the conditions that the Three Lions could experience at the FIFA World Cup in the country plus Canada and Mexico next year.
Tuchel and his squad are currently in Spain for a training camp before they play Andorra in a World Cup qualifier on Saturday and Senegal in a friendly at Nottingham Forest's City Ground on June 10.
As part of the training camp, the coach and his performance staff will look at how players cope in the hot and humid conditions they are likely to face in a year's time.
That involves using heated tents as part of training to replicate the conditions they could experience, with teams due to play across the breadth of North America.
Players will carry out fitness tests inside the tents on exercise bikes, in temperatures they could be expected to face during the tournament, and their recovery will be analysed.
“Our team is on it,” Tuchel said at his squad launch last month. "The FA provides support on the highest level to the conditions.
"I am curious to go to the Club World Cup and see the stadiums and actually feel the heat, and then we will go from there. In camp we will test the players; how they react to heat and all that stuff.
"So at a very professional level, we will increase our knowledge about how to cool players down, when to take a cooling break, how to individually cool players down and what helps each player, [and] hydration.
"So there is support going on at its highest level which I am very happy about, as it allows me to focus on football.
"We play against Andorra in perfect conditions [it is expected to reach 25C in Barcelona this weekend], so of course we cannot now pretend to play in Dallas in a semi-final.
"But we will test when we are in Spain and it is important to see matches, now, in America and in Miami at three in the afternoon.
"I will see that, how it looks. I have done pre-season there in Orlando [when Chelsea head coach] and I will be very surprised if we do not suffer. Suffering is one of the headlines for this World Cup."
England have won their first two World Cup qualifiers under Tuchel and sit top of the Group K table.
