Training resumes in two groups, morning session and press conference on Saturday

Sampdoria were back at the Centro Sportivo Gloriano Mugnaini late on Friday morning to resume training after Thursday night’s Coppa Italia defeat at the hands of Cagliari.

The players involved for all or most of the game in Sardinia had a recovery session in the gym, while the rest of the squad trained as normal outside on Pitch 2.

The injury situation within the squad remains the same, with Edgar Barreto (treatment, physiotherapy, gym), Andrea Bertolacci (treatment, physiotherapy, recovery plan), Federico Bonazzoli (treatment, physiotherapy, individual fitness work outside) and Fabio Depaoli (treatment, physiotherapy, gym) all working away from the group. Bartosz Bereszynski is working through the first stage of his recovery from surgery at a specialist unit in Poznan, Poland.

Doria will train again on Saturday morning ahead of Sunday’s visit of Parma to Marassi. Claudio Ranieri will hold his pre-match press conference straight after the session at 13:00 CET.
