4 players train separately ahead of Friday departure for Naples

Sampdoria continue to prepare for the visit to the San Paolo on Saturday. Eusebio Di Francesco’s squad were put through their paces at the Gloriano Mugnaini, with Fabio Depaoli (individual session on the pitch), Jakub Jankto (individual recovery work), Gonzalo Maroni (regaining match fitness) and Ronaldo Vieira training on their own. The Englishman, who is ruled out of the trip to Naples through suspension, performed some tailored strength drills.

There will be a morning training session on Friday ahead of an afternoon departure down south to Naples International Airport. In order to be fully focused on Saturday’s game, a decision has been taken by the president, club and Eusebio Di Francesco not to schedule the usual pre-match press conference the day before. The coach will be available to speak to the media after the match.
