England head coach Thomas Tuchel gave his advice World Cup player to vacation in the United States time zone before the tournament, to aid in the acclimatization process.
A total of 21 of England’s 26-man squad will arrive in Florida on Monday for their pre-tournament camp, where they will face New Zealand and Costa Rica in warm-up matches on June 6 and 10.
A number of players are understood to have spent the off-season in the United States or the Caribbean at the behest of the England boss.
Weather will certainly play a major factor in this tournament, with studies indicating that almost a quarter of World Cup games will be played Temperature above 26C.
Adapting to the US time zone will also be a factor, with England’s tournament training base in Kansas City, Missouri, six hours behind UK time, the same as Dallas, where Tuchel’s men face Croatia in their opening group game on June 17.
The remaining Group L matches against Ghana and Panama, which will be played in Boston and New Jersey respectively, will be played in a time zone five hours behind the UK.
To ensure England could hit the ground running, Tuchel urged the players to travel west for their post-season break before joining up with the squad.
Arsenal quartet Declan Rice, Nonny Maduke, Eberechi Eze and Bukayo Saka, and Crystal Palace goalkeeper Dean Henderson – who was involved in the European final this week – will join the rest of the squad at a later date.
Premier League players Alex Scott, Jason Steele, Rio Ngumoha, Josh King and Ethan Nwaneri Will also join the squad for England’s training camp in West Palm Beach, Florida.
