Back to training here in Bogliasco, Quagliarella given day off

After a day and a half of rest, Marco Giampaolo’s Sampdoria were back in training today as focus turns to the away game against Crotone on Sunday.

The squad was split into two groups for the session at the Mugnaini: recovery work for those involved last Sunday against Sassuolo and high-intensity practice games honing tactics and technique for everyone else.

Jacopo Sala continued with the physio, while Emiliano Viviano did some area-specific strengthening exercises. Carlos Carbonero and Daniel Pavlovic pressed on with their returns to full fitness, and Fabio Quagliarella enjoyed an extra day off.

There’s a double session penned in for Wednesday.
