The Club World Cup heatwave has led to sniffer dogs in the United States wearing crocs to protect their paws from the red hot pavements, as was the case at Chelsea’s group-game loss to Flamengo.
The Blues lost that match 3-1 in the humidity of the open Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, where a ‘Heat Health Emergency’ has been declared.
Chelsea will play again in Philly on Tuesday, against ES Tunis. Temperatures that day are due to spike at 39C. Even with Enzo Maresca’s side playing at 9pm, it is forecast to remain around 35C at that time.
That will test Chelsea’s players but also the panting pooches needed to make the event as secure as possible.
The weather is Philadelphia has been particularly troublesome as, while the heat and humidity have been dangerously high, a tornado alert was also pinged to mobile phones earlier this week.

39°C is normal here. If kids, pregnant women, and sick people can adapt and adjust, why can't you people adjust to it for just 1 month. Stop complaining before you see the real struggle
adjusting to situation like this takes time and they don't have the time. European players are used to temperate weather and playing in the summer heat is definitely a problem. One of the reasons the European leagues are on break in the summer.
