Samp training resumes in groups as Salsano observes the side

Sampdoria resumed training in groups on Tuesday ahead of Saturday afternoon’s trip to face Sassuolo.

The players involved for most or all of Sunday’s clash with Atalanta had a session based around fitness and recovery, while the rest of the squad worked out in the gym before focusing on tactics and technique drills outside.

Gaston Ramirez (bruised right leg), Jacopo Sala (muscle fatigue) and Riccardo Saponara (tendinitis) received physiotherapy and worked through some tailored drills. Edgar Barreto (specific physiotherapy programme) and Gianluca Caprari (gym and bike) continued working on their returns to fitness.

Carlo Osti and Marco Giampaolo welcomed Fausto Salsano, a former Sampdoria man and current member of Roberto Mancini’s Italy coaching set-up, to the training ground to observe the players.

Doria will train again on Wednesday morning.
