Saturday session to round off the week. Back on Tuesday to begin preparations for Roma

The Sampdoria squad minus the missing international players gathered at Bogliasco on Saturday morning for their last training session of the week.

After a warm-up and some tactical drills focusing on defensive movements, the players did rondos and finished off with some high-intensity fitness work.

Daniel Pavlovic trained with the rest of the team while Carlos Carbonero joined in for the warm-up and rondos before doing individual work on the pitch.

Meanwhile Ricky Alvarez followed a personalised programme in the gym and Andrea Tozzo continued having treatment.

Marco Giampaolo has now given the players two full days off to rest up. The squad will report back on Tuesday to begin preparing for Sunday’s visit to Roma.
