Gym and field work in double session, Dodo and Carbonero return

The Blucerchiati continued their preparations for the trip to Napoli with a double session at the Mugnaini on Tuesday.

In the morning, Marco Giampaolo and his staff split the squad – bolstered by Primavera trio Riccardo Bozzi, Jacopo Cioce and Alberto Testa – into two groups. The first part of the workout was spent in the gym, before positional drills on the upper pitch. After lunch the players worked on tactics and technique on the main pitch. They were joined by another of Ciccio Pedone’s youngsters in the shape of Michal Tomic.

Carlos Carbonero and Dodo have returned from their Christmas break. The Colombian midfielder is still working separately whereas the Brazilian full-back joined up with his team-mates for full training. Jacopo Sala had treatment and did work in the pool, while Karol Linetty is still suffering from a bout of flu. The squad will train just once tomorrow afternoon.
