Recovery and ball work as Doria gear up for Chievo trip. Final session and press conference on Sunday

Walter Zenga dedicated the first part of today’s training session to recovery work, with Sampdoria having to quickly move on from Thursday’s draw with Empoli and prepare for their match away to Chievo on Monday. Afterwards the players carried out some drills on technique and rehearsed set plays.

Vasco Regini joined in with his team-mates for today’s workout at the Mugnaini while Andrea Coda, Lazaros Christodoulopoulos and Nenad Krsticic continued with their personalised programmes, which included aerobic work on the pitch.

The Blucerchiati will reconvene in Bogliasco tomorrow morning to put the finishing touches on preparations for Chievo v Sampdoria, before the manager meets with media to discuss the game. You can follow the news conference live on Samp TV and Twitter from around midday.
