More group work ahead of SPAL. Media conference on Saturday

The team were once again split into two groups on Friday as they continued preparations for their next match against SPAL.

Like on Thursday, the players who featured heavily against Bologna and Lecce did recovery and fitness exercises on pitch 2, with individual work in the gym before and after.

Meanwhile the other available squad members – including Karol Linetty – trained on pitch 1, with Primavera youngsters Lorenzo Avogadri, Andreas Chrysostomou, Emanuel Ercolano, Simone Giordano and Marco Pompetti making up the numbers.

The programme included a warm-up, technical drills and a 45-minute match on a full-size pitch.

Andrea Seculin did personalised recovery work in the gym and in goal.

On Saturday the team will again train in the morning, after which, at 13:00 CET, Claudio Ranieri will face the media to discuss Monday’s game at the Stadio Mazza.
