Positional training at Bogliasco; Giampaolo to preview Fiorentina on Tuesday

Sampdoria were back at work this afternoon to begin preparations for the visit of Fiorentina on Wednesday, the fixture rearranged from August following the Ponte Morandi tragedy.

Joined by Primavera prospects Matteo Raspa, Ognjen Stijepovic and Roberts Veips, the squad were divided into two groups for training. Those who played against Frosinone had a recovery session, while the rest of the group, including Dennis Praet and Lorenzo Tonelli, had a full workout.

Gianluca Caprari, Vasco Regini and Riccardo Saponara all trained separately, either on the pitch, in the gym or in the pool.

The players will be back out for another afternoon session tomorrow, after Giampolo’s pre-match press conference at 13:00 CEST.
