Blucerchiati train in two groups in Bogliasco

Sampdoria’s second training session of the week took place on Thursday, ahead of the home clash with Hellas Verona on Monday evening. Claudio Ranieri and his staff put the squad through their paces on pitch two at the Mugnaini in Bogliasco in the morning, with the squad split in two, but the same 90-minute programme for both the defensive and attacking players. It consisted of a warm-up, strengthening work in the gym and technical and tactical drills on the pitch. Kristoffer Askildsen was back with his team-mates, while Karol Linetty and Morten Thorsby did some technical and fitness work out on the pitch. Alex Ferrari underwent further rehab following surgery. The squad will have another morning session on Friday.
