Training on upper pitch in Bogliasco, final session and conference on Saturday

A blazing sun greeted Sampdoria at the Mugnaini on Friday afternoon as they continued their preparations for the trip to Carpi on Sunday.

Vincenzo Montella and his team laid on a session of technical and tactical drills on the upper pitch, but had to do without Lorenzo De Silvestri and Djamel Mesbah as both players continued working on their personal recovery plans.

Samp will have their final session on Saturday morning before leaving for Modena that evening. Montella will hold his pre-match press conference at 15:00 CET. Follow it live on Samp TV and @sampdoria_en.
