Hot conditions for Friday training

Hot temperatures typical of Valencia at this time of year were present on Friday at the Ciudad Deportiva, as training for the VCF squad continued apace.

Heat adds to the fatigue for the players, who have been adapting to the circumstances ahead of a return to LaLiga action. The league is set to avoid afternoon kickoffs when the top flight restarts next month, opting for evening and night games.

After each demanding training drill, the Valencia CF squad are permitted to head over to the individual coolers at the side of the pitch, in accordance with LaLiga protocol, to rehydrate for optimal performance.
