Light training after Entella test, additional work for Cassano

After last evening’s efforts in Chiavari, the Blucerchiati took it easy at training on Thursday. Antonio Cassano, however, worked even harder than usual, taking on an additional fitness programme in order to get into top shape as quickly as possible.

During the session, those who didn’t feature as much at the Stadio Comunale were taken aside by Luigi Cagni and Claudio Bellucci to concentrate on tactics in various defensive and offensive scenarios.

Day by day, Angelo Palombo is inching back towards full fitness; today Samp’s captain went through some gradual recovery exercises. Niklas Moisander is in a similar situation, but was nevertheless able to train with the ball at his feet out on the pitch. Joaquin Correa, on the other hand, continues to work on his own.

Head coach Walter Zenga – who has recently met with the president of the Italian Footballers’ Association Damiano Tommasi – will take the squad through an afternoon training session tomorrow, Friday, at the Centro Sportivo Mugnaini.
