In response to the demanding summer heat of North America, Chelsea's manager, Enzo Maresca, has adjusted the team's training strategy ahead of a crucial Club World Cup showdown against Flamengo on Friday.

The match is set to determine the top spot in Group D, as both teams currently stand tied with three points each after wins against LAFC and Esperance de Tunis.
