Double session involving tests and ball work

A morning filled with fitness tests and assessments was followed by an afternoon of rondos, tactical drills and a small-sided match on Thursday that Roberto D’Aversa and his coaching staff arranged for the players at the Mugnaini in Bogliasco, as preparations for the visit to Sassuolo on Sunday were ramped up.

Ernesto Torregrossa trained out on the pitch and in the gym, while Manolo Gabbiadini underwent physio.

Ronaldo Vieira trained with his team-mates for the first time since his return.

A morning session is scheduled for Friday.
