President watches on as Samp train behind closed doors

The Blucerchiati were put through their paces in a closed session in Bogliasco today, only after the fabled squad photo was taken.

The guys were also treated to another appearance from club president Massimo Ferrero, who came to the Centro Sportivo Mugnaini to watch training for the second day in a row.

In preparation for Sunday’s match against Bologna, the players warmed up before getting down to some training matches highlighting specific skills and exercises on defence and attack.

There was some good news on the injury front, as Ervin Zukanovic was back working with the group.

There’s one final session planned for Saturday morning, which will be followed by Walter Zenga’s pre-match press conference.

Make sure you tune in to our English Twitter account @Sampdoria_en from 12:30 CEST to hear what he has to say!
