Four training separately as build-up to Cagliari continues

While most of Italy was enjoying a day off to celebrate Liberation Day, it was work as usual for the Blucerchiati on Wednesday morning as they reported to the training ground to push on with preparations for Sunday’s match against Cagliari.

After a warm-up and some work on explosive strength, the players moved outside for drills on technique and tactics.

Youth players Ibourahima Balde, Markus Soomets and Ognjen Stijepovic joined in with the first team today.

Meanwhile four players followed personalised programmes. Ricky Alvarez had treatment on an ankle injury sustained in training yesterday, Gianluca Caprari had physiotherapy and pool work due to a thigh problem picked up on Sunday, Nicola Murru worked in the pool and on the pitch as he continues his return to full fitness and Duvan Zapata had treatment and hydrotherapy.

The team will be back on Thursday morning for their next training session.
