Double session at the Mugnaini

Sampdoria continued their training regime during the international break with a double session on Wednesday in Bogliasco. Marco Giampaolo and his staff had planned a morning of strength exercises in the gym and fitness work, while the afternoon centred on training matches on small pitches.

Aside from the five players called up for international duty – Bartosz Bereszynski, Filip Djuricic, Manolo Gabbiadini, Tomas Rincon and Abdelhamid Sabiri – it was only Harry Winks and Manuel De Luca who didn’t join the squad on pitch one of the Mugnaini, as they were following their own recovery programmes.

An afternoon session is planned for Thursday.
