Coppa Italia preparations. Group work, Pavlovic joins his team-mates

Samp have barely had time to catch their breath. Despite only playing yesterday, the Coppa Italia returns this week and so it was straight back to work for Marco Giampaolo’s side.

The coach split his squad into two groups for this morning’s session. Those who featured at Crotone worked on recovery in the gym and the pool, while the rest had a normal workout on the pitch.

Daniel Pavlovic resumed full training with his team-mates as he continues his comeback from injury. Carlos Carbonero followed a specific workout plan, while Jacopo Sala and Emiliano Viviano had treatment and focused on strength. The Blucerchiati will train again on Tuesday afternoon.
