Double session ahead of Juventus trip, afternoon training on Thursday

Sampdoria got stuck into a double training session on Wednesday as they began preparing for Sunday evening’s trip to take on Juventus in Turin.

The first session saw Marco Giampaolo split his squad up by position for strength and resistance exercises in the gym and general drills outside. Five Primavera youngsters – Yassine Ejjaki, Ognjen Stijepovic, Andrea Tessiore, Titas Kaprikas and Joao Gomes Ricciulli – were called up for the morning session, with Krapikas and Ricciulli, alongside Alex Pastor and U17 defender Emanuel Ercolano, joining in after lunch.

Samp had a complete training session in the afternoon, with Gianluca Caprari fit enough to take part but Dennis Praet and Lucas Torreira focusing on some strength work in the pool alongside Bartosz Bereszynski. Nicolas Murru continued working on his recovery plan.

Doria will train again tomorrow afternoon.
