Another double session for Doria, morning training on Saturday

Sampdoria were back at the Centro Sportivo Gloriano Mugniani in Bogliasco on Friday for a double training session.

With 12 players away on international duty (Albin Ekdal has now linked up with Sweden after staying in Genoa for a few days to be with his wife and new-born child), Marco Giampaolo brought youngsters Mohamed Bahlouli, Leonardo Benedetti, Alessandro Casanova, Yassin Ejjaki, Simone Giordano, Daouda Peeters and Matteo Raspa into the first-team fold for the sessions.

Vasco Regini was once again away in Domodossola with Dr Umerto Borino working on his recovery plan.

Samp will train again on Saturday morning.
