President Ferrero watches Friday training. Friendly against Primavera on Saturday

Massimo Ferrero popped into the training ground on Friday to watch the team training ahead of their friendly with the Primavera on Saturday.

The afternoon session saw Marco Giampaolo put his squad through a series of small-sided games and high-intensity drills.

Edgar Barreto had treatment after picking up a knock in training on Thursday while Mirko Eramo sat out again due to flu.

Meanwhile Daniel Pavlovic and Carlos Carbonero continued their respective individual recovery programmes.

On Saturday morning Giampaolo’s men will play Ciccio Pedone’s U19s in a friendly match. Kick-off is scheduled for 10:30.
