Group training in Bogliasco; departure for Cagliari on Tuesday afternoon

Preparations have upped a notch at Bogliasco in view of Sampdoria’s trip to face Cagliari on Wednesday evening in Week 6 of Serie A 2018/19.

Joined by Primavera prospects Mohamed Bahlouli, Ognjen Stijepovic and Jamie Yayi Mpie, the squad was divided into two groups for the session, based on their freshness ahead of the upcoming fixtures.

The first group, joined by Dawid Kownacki, went through fitness drills with and without the ball, while second group concentrated on tactics. Gianluca Caprari, Vasco Regini and Riccardo Saponara all worked on their returns to fitness separately, either in the gym, in the pool or out on the pitch.

The squad will train tomorrow morning at Bogliasco before setting off for Cagliari in the afternoon. There will be no pre-match press conference with Marco Giampaolo on this occasion.
